Ya' lazy bastids! Mitt has aready made @ $37,000 today

based on his daily average figured from his tax returns (low estimate).
And he does this on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays - 365 days a years!

He only made $36,945.8666666667 more than I did today and I'm retired. I'm pretty sure I've worked more and harder than he ever has.

Poor, poor pitiful mittens.

so I will keep checking my bank account for my status to change from "soon to" to "have". After all, if Mitt can do it while doing nothing, well, so should I!

No, it's not enough that I'm ugly, or that I stink, or that my socks have holes in them, but now I gotta be ridiculed for being poor, too? The last time I even saw a hundred dollar bill, Ben Franklin had short, black hair! I found a dime on the sidewalk yesterday and increased my wealth tenfold! Let's see Romney do that in one day! Harumph!

New book by Thomas Frank.
...As veteran cultural critic Thomas Frank recounts in his scathing new book Pity the Billionaire: The Hard-Times Swindle and the Unlikely Comeback of the Right (Metropolitan), the chaos didn’t lead to full-scale, pitchfork-waving condemnation of laissez-faire ideology in America, as it did during the Great Depression. Instead, in a bewildering turn, large swaths of American society reacted with renewed fervour for unregulated, free-wheeling capitalism.
