Romney was not paid $100,000/year by Bain in 1999-2002

The form in question simply asks for a check-mark on a salary range.

The box checked is the highest level available, $100,000+

The salary is not specified. It is at least $100K. It could be $100,000. It could be a $1 million. It could be $10 million.

Nobody knows.

She mentioned his salary at Bain as a hundred grand and said she'd love to have such a salary for doing nothing. I'll bet it's more like one million for doing nothing.

Watching Rachel talk about it.

$100,000 would be an amazing coincidence. It's almost surely more than that.

which makes him responsible for what Bain did -- especially if he was both the highest-ranking officer AND the sole shareholder of the company.

So how could his salary have been $10,000. But I do agree that it was almost certainly $1million or more, much more.

It's hard to say you had nothing to do with the company if they paid you millions.

what a freeloader! He either has something in common with his beloved welfare recipients or he is a manipulative liar!
Oh yeah - he is so special - he is entitled.

rmoney would get out of bed for that amount of money. Makes much more sense to be 100k+
