In last night's debate Mitt Romney stated, “my income comes overwhelmingly from investments made in the past rather than ordinary income or rather than earned annual income. I got a little bit of income from my book, but I gave that all away. And then I get speaker’s fees from time to time, but not very much.”
What interests me is his statement on the speaker's fees he receives. If I was to ask you how much "not very much" would equate to what number would you come up with? Well according to Mitt Romney's disclosures "not very much" is $360,000.
Depending on the source of information the average salary in the US appears to be somewhere between $40,000 and $48,000. I wonder what planet Romney is living on if he really thinks $360,000 is "not very much"!
Perhaps we should ask what planet Romney is planning to be the god of. But that's a theological discussion on the differences between Mormons and Christians so we'll save that one for another day.
