1.3 days.

2012-01-24 05:59:49 PM
9 hours, 42 minutes, and 20 seconds.
So, in one work day, he makes as much as I do ALL YEAR.
Damn.

Well this makes sense, he's clearly 700 times more valuable than I am.

It's easy to make a shiatpot full of money when you already have money. I'ld be more interested in how long it took him to make his first million(s).

And, then, I'd take the rest of the year off if I was Mitt. Recuperation, if you will.
AdolfOliverPanties
2012-01-24 06:34:21 PM
Hmmm, less than a day and a half.
All that really means to me is I would like to make more. He was born with a silver spoon stuck up his ass and he makes money from the continuance of that elite line.
I don't like how he makes it, I don't like him and how he stands for NOTHING, and I don't want him to be president.

Ok. Feel free to hate him for not earning his millions then.

How long would it take Mitt to earn what I do in a year if he started from nothing? No inheritance, no family money, no political or business connections. And, since the GOP is opposed to such things, no social safety net. No Pell grants to get through school, no unemployment, no welfare, no Medicare or Medicaid should be or one of his
wives
... er, family become sick.

"make" is a strong word. That implies "doing" something.

Just over 8 hours. Hurrah for being a grad student on a stipend!
Did the math, and it would take me over 100 years just to earn the amount he paid in taxes...

Is there a version where you can compare home many businesses and jobs you created or saved compared to Romney?

As I posted in the other thread, 1 day, 20 hours and change.

Also, this. The Romneytron should well be titled, "How long does it take Romney to misappropriate your annual income?"

Well, I'm at 0 or a small positive (as a productive, working member of society), so I'm already better than the gigantic negatives Mr. Vulture Capitalist is running.

If you'd simply work a little a harder, you could bump that up to maybe 33-34 minutes.

There's two problems that this presents:
1) The widening income disparity between the top 1% and the rest of us.
2) The disparity between what I pay as a tax rate and what he pays as a tax rate.
Can we solve at least one of them?
mitchcumstein1

Just over two days.
And I paid a whole shiatload more than %15 in taxes.

That's your right I suppose, even though it sounds an awful lot like when one toddler cries because another has a toy that they want. There are plenty of other reasons to dislike him than because he is rich.
I wonder what tax rate Steve Jobs paid. Wasn't most of his money from capital gains?

My spending and consumption has likely generated positive, albeit small impacts on the local economy where I live. Since I haven't spent any time gutting companies, firing people and repeating, I feel pretty safe in my assumption that my impact on jobs in the US is far more positive than his.

Do all you haters hate Kerry? Clinton? Soros? Michael Moore? The Kennedys? I bet not. It's okay for your guys to be rich, but not for those on the right. Envy is an ugly thing.

He should have paid more, too. This free ride for wealthy aristocrats has to stop.

Charity - n. The act of giving money to a political organization because a guy found some golden plates in his backyard that commanded you to. No you can't see them.

Do Kerry, Clinton, Moore, or the Kennedys advocate cutting the (already historically low) taxes on the rich and higher taxes on the not-rich?

Well, Steve Jobs isn't running for President and thinks the solution to the budget is to slash the tax rate for millionaires by 7% while raising the taxes for the majority of Americans, but good try to change to subject. I'm not an iFan though.

Charity - n. The act of giving money to a political organization because a guy found some golden plates in his backyard that commanded you to. No you can't see them.
Also, charity - n. The act of stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from the nation's working class and returning a tiny fraction of that in whatever way you see fit.

Not that you're interested in actually having a conversation on the topic, but the part that's not okay is being rich, paying a small amount in taxes, and insisting that it should be even lower.

You moron. All those people didn't want to lower their own taxes while calling other people envious. Rub some brain cells together. Or you know, keep kicking the shiat out of strawman like a worthless liar. Your choice.
