I don’t usually comment on these sorts of things, however I found this hilarious (in a sad and ironic way). Dan Check, with Slate Magazine, created a calculator that calculates how long it took Mitt Romney in 2010 to earn a particular annual salary. For instance, the median salary in 2010 was roughly $40,000. And according to the calculator, it took Romney 16 hours 10 minutes and 34 seconds to earn that much. Moreover, at that median salary, it would take 541 years 6 months 12 days 6 hours 20 minutes and 9 seconds to make what Romney made in 2010.
It just goes to show the level of disconnect. Whatever happened to the Populist Party?

Are you tired of the incessant dribble that holds our political system hostage? Has the overall glibness of humanity finally pushed your last button? Well, chances are you found the right place. So come on in and take a seat. This blog is aimed to reach out to those of you who are in search of virtue and truth. But be prepared, this blog explores more faucets than right-left politics. It’s a doorway to philosophy and self sustainable thought, with a natural twist of cynicism!
