Romney gives at least 10% of his earnings to the church and charities. He is a throwback to the days when men of character did not brag about their acts of charity, but did it quietly and anonomously in some cases. As Ann Romney said, this is ridiculous that they can't have empathy because they are financially secure.
Again, the Romneys did not bring this up. It was an attempt at a gotcha question by Gregory. Later in the interview Gregory again tried another gotcha question on Obamacare. What should the Romneys have said in response to Gregory's question?
Actually Bishop Romney is a powerful figure in an anti-Christian cult, and he is required to give at least 10% of his money to the cult, or he cannot become a God.
Mitt Romney has zero character and he doesn't give anonymously, he is required to, and he is interviewed by the cult leaders every 2 years, verifying that he is meeting that requirement, his ID card must be renewed every 12 months, proving that he has made that mandatory "charity" giving, ID cards are issued so that you can prove that you are complying to the cults demands.
Right! What you bring out is one of Gov. Romney's best traits! The educated & landed gentry who voted for the Declaration of Independence & later devised our Constitutional Federal Union, would never have even discussed their acts of charity with the general public. That is not how any gentleman--then or now--behaves.
It is to Romney's credit that he is uncomfortable with this sort of thing.
