Classic media bias. John Kerry's net worth is $750 million. Al Gore's net worth increased from $2 million in 2000 to over $100 million now after cashing in on Apple and Google board of directors seats. The Clinton's are worth over $80 million.

How many minutes of Federal Spending would that cover?

If depends on your state of residence.
In a state with no state income tax, you would get $260 million after taxes. But it would be much less in NY or California.

I heard that it would pay off 1/10,000 of the deficit.

This article is full of cheap shots and jealousy dripping from its author. They can’t stand it when people work hard and earn and spend their own money

stay rich by spending other people’s money, not your own. Obama is the master at this, Romney would have to defer to him for advice.

You hit the nail on the head....never a mention of Soros, Kennedy, Pelosi, Kerry...
I hate the Leftist, lying media.
I think we need to get another “Fox-like-but-not-owned-by-Saudis” conservative TV network. I know Kelsey Grammar started Right Network, but I think the cable carriers are slow to add any programming.
Washington Times
Washington Examiner
Fox
Talk Radio
The rest is unadulturated bullsh*t.

How many Obama family vacations would the lottery cover?About half of them would be my guess.

LOL Glenn Beck said that if the winner was a tea party sort, he could start a PAC on his own with the sole purpose of getting Obama out of office in the November Elections...

Is there any mega jackpot winner who has actually done anything which is long term useful with their money?
Most of them, we never hear about again unless they go broke or get in trouble with the law.

It just went up : $640 MILLION per the California Lottery Website. I imagine Brown & his gang of thieves in the back room are trying to repeal the “no state income tax” provision of the lottery law out here...

Is it richer than Obama’s sugar daddys: George Soros and Warren Buffett?

The total jackpot is $540m. That's a lot of bread!
Taxed at 100%, it would cover about 75 minutes of 2012 federal spending.
