Vladimir Putin must be a genius to become a billionaire on that "official" income. ;-)

[cripplecreek]

But what is Obama’s net worth and how did he get it?

[econjack]

Guess which one is overpaid.

[aquila48]

When you add the perks, Obama gets at least a billion.

[rfreedom4u]

Wow! I make more than the leader of India!

[jonascord]

We are NOT getting our money’s worth...

[DoodleDawg]

But what is Obama’s net worth and how did he get it?

About $12 million and through his books. But once he leaves office, writes his memoirs, and hit's the lecture circuit then it'll go up like a rocket.

[DoodleDawg]

Guess which one is overpaid.

Just about all of them?

[jonascord]

"Wow! I make more than the leader of India!"

This is true. But in your country, you have things available to buy with all that money. In India, not so much...

[SMARTY]

Do any of these salaries include what these guys steal?

Because you know ALL of them are crooks.

[WayneS]

Dang. I think I’ll run for Prime Minister of Singapore,

[KarlInOhio]

But what is Obama’s net worth and how did he get it?

More than the Clintons who were "dead broke" when they left office... unless you add on the White House silverware.

Netanyahu released that his gross salary was 43,952.29 shekels per month, or about $131,000 per year and he even had to pay some for his armored car.

One in five Singaporeans is a millionaire - so what..?

[fwdude]

Is India’s leader paid in chickens?

Salary of retired United States Presidents $180,000 FOR LIFE
Salary of House/Senate....$174,000 FOR LIFE

Salary of Speaker of the House ....$223,500 FOR LIFE!
This is really stupid.

Salary of Majority/Minority Leader $193,400 FOR LIFE!
Ditto last line.

Average Salary of a teacher ... $40,065

Average Salary of Soldier DEPLOYED IN AFGHANISTAN .. $38,000

Think about this !!!!!

Nancy Pelosi will retire as a Congress Person at $174,000 Dollars a year
for LIFE.
She has retired as SPEAKER at $223,500 a year.
PLUS she will receive an additional $193,400 a year as Minority Leader,
the fact that she has become rich while in office notwithstanding.
That’s $803,700 Dollars a year for LIFE including FREE medical which is
not available to us .... the taxpayers

The Cato Institute released an updated 2014 study (original study in 1955)
showing that welfare benefits pay more than a minimum wage job in 33
states and the District of Columbia.

Even worse, welfare pays more than $15 per hour in 13 states.

According to the study, welfare benefits have increased faster than
minimum wage.

It’s now more profitable to sit at home and watch TV than it is to earn
an honest day’s pay.

Hawaii is the biggest offender, where welfare recipients earn $29.13 per
hour,

or a $60,590 yearly salary, all for doing nothing.

Here is the list of the states where the pre-tax equivalent “salary”
that welfare recipients receive is higher

than having a job:
1. Hawaii : $60,590
2. District of Columbia : $50,820
3. Massachusetts : $50,540
4. Connecticut : $44,370
5. New York : $43,700
6. New Jersey : $43,450
7. Rhode Island : $43,330
8. Vermont : $42,350
9. New Hampshire : $39,750
10. Maryland : $38,160
11. California : $37,160
12. Oregon : $34,300
13. Wyoming : $32,620
14. Nevada : $29,820
15. Minnesota : $29,350
16. Delaware : $29,220
17. Washington : $28,840
18. North Dakota : $28,830
19. Pennsylvania : $28,670
20. New Mexico : $27,900
21. Montana : $26,930
22. South Dakota : $26,610
23. Kansas: $26,490
24. Michigan : $26,430
25. Alaska : $26,400
26. Ohio : $26,200
27. North Carolina : $25,760
28. West Virginia : $24,900
29. Alabama : $23,310
30. Indiana : $22,900
31. Missouri : $22,800
32. Oklahoma : $22,480
33. Louisiana : $22,250
34. South Carolina :$21,910

As a point of reference the average Middle Class annual income today is
$50,000, down from $54,000 at the beginning of the Great Recession.

Hawaii, DC, and Massachusetts pay more in welfare than the average working
folks earn there.

Is it any wonder that they stay home rather than look for a job.

Time for a drastic change.

America is virtually bankrupt.

Note that California is $18.50 an hour.

Are we Nuts or what? How do we un-do this type of stupidity … This is
crazy!

I think we found where the cuts should be made!

If you agree ...... pass it on, I just did.

Wake UP America ! Unless you really don’t care that your country is
bankrupt at the likes of these people !

Jacob Zuma is also known here in South Africa as the Chief Thief.

I'm pretty sure that's not correct. She'll get ONE pension when she retires (she's not retired now).

[DungeonMaster]

Meaningless.
