Vote for the Rich Prick
Mitt Romney offered a partial snapshot of his vast personal fortune late Monday, disclosing income of $21.7 million in 2010 and $20.9 million last year -- virtually all of it profits, dividends or interest from investments.
None came from wages, the primary source of income for most Americans. Instead, Romney and his wife, Ann, collected millions in capital gains from a profusion of investments, as well as stock dividends and interest payments.
The couple gave away $7 million in charitable contributions over the past two years, including at least $4.1 million to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Romney's family has for generations been among the Mormon Church's most prominent member.
For 2011, Romney estimates that he will pay about $3.2 million, for an effective rate of 15.4 percent.
And to think I'm taxed at MORE THAN DOUBLE THAT RATE. Needless to say, I don't make anywhere NEAR $20 million a year. But, of course, I work for my f*cking money.
