*Did the math, and it would take me over 100 years just to earn the amount he paid in taxes...*
What’s with this Socialist garbage from Slate?
So what if Romney has millions of dollars
Becoming rich is not evil.
Millionaires and billionaires are not evil.
Posts like this are more appropriate for MoveOn, The Daily Kos and Slate.
.
I’m not jealous of what someone else earns.
That Slate article is despicable! :-(
(But Romney’s still an ass.)
I know people here hate Romney, but this crap about criticizing him for making money is outrageous. I just heard that phoney lying bastard Brian Williams going on and on to Romney about won’t people hate him bc he makes an “astounding” amount of money.
Ever hear them ask a Kennedy that? Clintons? I will criticize Romney bc he should have spit it back in Williams’ face.
Smells like socialist class warfare bs to me.
How absurd. Any of us would pay th least amount in the same circumstances.
we can trash mittens, bit this is ridiculous
Are you a socialist?
That's the point that should be made. When someone PAYS more in taxes than I EARN, I have no right to complain.
Let me echo the “It isn’t evil to be successful” stance. Enough of this pinko redistributionist envy on FR.
I really don’t care how much someone makes. I live a comfortable life and put in the effort I felt was necessary to get me and Mrs. TaMoDee to that point. She also put in an effort to get us to that point.
Good post. Daffynition. Shows how out of touch some are.
$22,000,000.00. Offshore accounts. $100,000,000.00 trust funds for his son—and this guy is the candidate that the GOP Establishment thinks is best suited to run in 2012 America? Against the Chicago machine that feeds on class warfare?
Lord, beam me up.
You guys are all missing the point. It’s not what we think about mittens wallet, it’s how that looks to everyone else. There is no way he gets the evil 1% stink off. See ya mittens.
Slate launches the first big “me too” volley in Obama’s re-election class war. If Romney’s nominated he’ll be in the MSM’s crosshairs 24/7. The Left could not wish for a more ideal opponent to demonize.
If making really big money is the goal, then construct a plan to do so. Once Obama is out of office, we'll have liberty restored which will allow anyone to make as much as he wishes. It's actually simple: Find a product or service that people want and then provide that at a price a shade lower than the competition.
Emerson's advice is still correct: "Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door." Once Conservatism prevails again under President Newt Gingrich, we'll all be able to build those mousetraps! My plan is in place to become very wealthy in the Happy Newt Year, starting January 2013.
I don’t like Mitt for many reasons. Its admirable, however, that he has generated such enormous wealth both for himself and society. America needs many, many, more like Mitt Romney in the business world. Just not in the Oval Office...
Mitt Romney has done more to help the poor than the entire leftist ruling class combined.
Calculate your FAIR SHARE of the rich guy's income!
so i’m not supposed to strive to be successful in America?
ok...
anyone know a country that would welcome the entrepreneurial spirit without crushing their return on investment?
