In my case, Romney would make my entire 2010 annual income in 12 hours, 7 minutes and 55 seconds.

You?

16 hours.

But you have to remember, this sort of thing 'vilifies wealth' and removes the incentive Mitt Romney has to, erm, generate capital for himself.

About 6 hours and 40 minutes.  But you have to remember I live in a cheaper country, so by PPP index I probably attain roughly the same standard of living as Mitt, no?  For example my apartment only costs me around $100 a month - Mitts is probably several times this at least, n'est-ce pas?

You people are giving away your incomes. Smiley

He'd make my net worth in 5 hours 9 minutes.

This gives me an idea for another new Republican tax plan that works.

Wouldn't be half as annoying if he had lifted a finger to work in 2010. All his income came from owning.

I'm jobless, but it takes him 12 hours, 56 minutes, and 27 seconds to match my mother's and about 21 minutes and 50 second to match my father's.

I know this is far from any form of meaningful 'class politics' but if you had told me a year ago sh**t would have gone this course re: Romney and wealth, and Obama would have made the gestures he did in his SOTU, I guess I would have signed for it.

How'd I know your clip would be from a movie from 30 years ago. You know, Hollywood is still making films. Would it kill you to see one from time to time?

Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

21 hours 1 minute and 44 seconds for my mother's income. About two months to make the net worth of my entire extended family out to second cousins.

It took him 17 hours, 33 minutes and 4 seconds to make what I made in 2011. This year, without bonuses'ses, it should take him about 21 hours, 1 minute and 44 seconds.

sorry, I like movies that are rich in dialogue...special effects don't do anything for me.

You guys should move to Australia so you can earn some real money.

We can't all be miners, prison guards or extreme wildlife documentary makers.

Anyway, I'd rather stay here and live the American Dream, where an unemployed man can make $21.6 million in one year.
