Mitt Romney released his 2010 tax return on Monday. His total income for the year was listed as $21.6 million, more than one-half of which came from capital gains. How does that stack up against your income? Enter your annual income below to find out how long it would have taken Mitt Romney to earn the same amount of money.

*Did the math, and it would take me over 100 years just to earn the amount he paid in taxes...*
What’s with this Socialist garbage from Slate?
So what if Romney has millions of dollars
Becoming rich is not evil.
Millionaires and billionaires are not evil.
Posts like this are more appropriate for MoveOn, The Daily Kos and Slate.

I’m not jealous of what someone else earns.
That Slate article is despicable! :-(
(But Romney’s still an ass.)
I know people here hate Romney, but this crap about criticizing him for making money is outrageous. I just heard that phoney lying bastard Brian Williams going on and on to Romney about won’t people hate him bc he makes an “astounding” amount of money.
Ever hear them ask a Kennedy that? Clintons? I will criticize Romney bc he should have spit it back in Williams’ face.
Smells like socialist class warfare bs to me.
How absurd. Any of us would pay th least amount in the same circumstances.
we can trash mittens, bit this is ridiculous
Are you a socialist?
Transferring millions of dollars to fund what Mormonism does is evil for sure.
I wonder how much of his donations went to them, all of them.
That's the point that should be made. When someone PAYS more in taxes than I EARN, I have no right to complain.
Let me echo the “It isn’t evil to be successful” stance. Enough of this pinko redistributionist envy on FR.
The main reason I dislike Romney is that he doesn't show that he has a spine.
The Hussein voters....
I really don’t care how much someone makes. I live a comfortable life and put in the effort I felt was necessary to get me and Mrs. TaMoDee to that point. She also put in an effort to get us to that point.
I know which tax accountant I’d want to use!
Good post. Daffynition. Shows how out of touch some are.
$22,000,000.00. Offshore accounts. $100,000,000.00 trust funds for his son—and this guy is the candidate that the GOP Establishment thinks is best suited to run in 2012 America? Against the Chicago machine that feeds on class warfare?
Lord, beam me up.
Whomever is advising Romney or maybe it is how Romney really thinks he/his campaign are acting like there is ‘shame’ and need for hiding that Romney has been successful.
You guys are all missing the point. It’s not what we think about mittens wallet, it’s how that looks to everyone else. There is no way he gets the evil 1% stink off. See ya mittens.
Slate launches the first big “me too” volley in Obama’s re-election class war. If Romney’s nominated he’ll be in the MSM’s crosshairs 24/7. The Left could not wish for a more ideal opponent to demonize.
