(20,441 posts)7. In 2010, Mitt Romney earned an adjusted income of 21,600,000.
He paid out roughly 3,000,000 in taxes.
Given the preferential tax subsidies given to investors, he got out of paying an additional 4,500,000 in taxes had he earned it as a salary or as an hourly wage.
In "moocher" or "welfare" terms, that's enough food stamps to last Mitt Romney to the year 4870.
