It would take me over 200 years to earn his yearly salary and an average work day for him to earn mine....

Calculate your own at www.romneymakes.com

Should you hate him because he is rich? No. Does it matter how he made his fortune and at whose expense? Yes. Should you question his priorities, loyalties, and motivations? Absolutely.

If he had made his fortune through hard graft, enterprise and innovation, I wouldn't have a problem with it. But we all know that's not the case.

Who cares if he makes a million dollars a minute? That is not the point. The point is that he makes that money because he is an American, and as such should pay his fair share of income to support the nation. Tax the bastard on every dollar he grosses, and on every dollar he has secreted in foreign banks, and on every piece of land he owns, etc, etc. Just like the rest of us.

and that doesn't even take long, as kitteh licks it straight off my finger!

But I can't afford to hire Rmoney to do it should I go on vacation, that's for sure. (And why does DU spellcheck still think Rmoney is a misspelling?)

1,041 years to earn what Mitt makes in a year. It takes him 2 hours to earn what I make in a year.

In the time that I spend at work each day - for which I get paid $53.68 - Mitt would make $62,441.85.

He wrote two books, lots of people bought the books, he got lots of money.

That's how the free market you love works, right? He put out a product people wanted to spend money on.

Also, the idea that he could have made millions working for "companies" like ACORN and government is absolutely laughable.

Enjoy your stay at DU!
