4,000 Families Make More Money Than Mitt Romney

Mitt looks down on the 1%. He's in the top .0025%. The typical "one percenter" is poor to him.

In fact, his income puts him in about the 99.9975% income bracket. Put another way, Mitt is in the top 0.0025%.

According to Saez, who told me he used “the standard Pareto fit” for the Mitt calculation, there are at least 4,000 families that make more than Romney.

Once and For All, Bill Maher IS NOT the Titular Head of a Major Political Party like Limbaugh Is

Unlike Maher's show, every Republican Presidential candidates since Bush I makes a pilgrimage to Rush's show.

Unlike Maher, Rush was named as an honorary House member during the Gingrich lead takeover of the U.S. House of Rep. in 1995.

Unlike Maher, Rush's show is available for free on the public airwaves and the U.S. Armed forces network.

Now, you can say that both are misogynist which is legitimate, but they are not the same when it comes to their effect on national politics.

So, Republicans Would Be Okay with a Muslim Employer Using Sharia Law in the Workplace

After all, no religious based employer should be forced by the government to go against its own religious and moral teachings, correct?
