In reply to the discussion: Mitt Romney: Don’t Run For Office If You Need The Salary: TPM [View all]Moostache
(9,895 posts)IF you have more than $5M net worth, you are hereby barred from running for or holding public office in the United States. Further more, if you have an annual income of ALL sources (capital gains, salary, inheritance, etc.), you may have the patriotic honor of serving the union by paying taxes at a 90% marginal rate until such time as the war deficit of GWB and the Neocons is paid off and until such time as the nation has an unemployment rate of less than 4% for 4 consecutive quarters. After that, we will have a tax cut that reduces the top rate to a permanent level of 75% over the top excluded income.
Enough of these people who have money and nothing less, least of all a goddamn clue on how to run a country for the betterment of the citizenry instead of the benefit of the richest 0.01% of the citizenry!
