(I can imagine the snark answers already )

But Harry Reid said the other day that he was worth much more than the reported $250 million dollars. Is he a billionaire?

But, when you think about it, there has been no better time in our history than now for a billionaire President. That would be the end of America as we have known it. The ultimate victory of the upper class over the rest of the country. It may be closer than you think?

1. He ain't worth

shit.

[1-Old-Man]

2. What's he worth? How about three bowls of shit soup?

[smirkymonkey]

36. LOL!

All of these are funny, but yours really made me crack up!

[canEHdian]

38. I'll Say 12

One for every year of tax returns "you people" don't have a right to see.

[Bennyboy]

3. "Not a Tinker's Damn".

as My Gramma used to say

[CJCRANE]

4. It's not really clear how he made all this money.

It just seems to multiply exponentially on its own without him really doing anything.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

5. I'm sure his fortune was made my hard work without the help of others.

[dtom67]

6. oh man .....

given the massive drop in standard of living this guy represents to the majority of the population, I'd say he isn't worth the steam offa my shit[/i].

[Ishoutandscream2]

7. He's actually as worthless as a bottle of warm piss

Sorry, Kentuck, couldn't resist. My hatred grows day by day when it comes to this clown.

eom

9. The New Guilded Age...

There definitely is something interesting or unique in having Willard run for President at this time. For the past 30 years we've been told that being rich is the ultimate goal and being filthy rich is the "American Dream". It's no longer having the house in the burbs with the kids and dog...the Dream became oppulance, greed and excess. We were told that one could never make too much money and to look up to those who did have tremendous wealth as a symbol of major success in today's society.

This November we'll find out if people find having that large amount of wealth (and it doesn't matter if its 100 million or 100 billion) as a qualification to lead this nation. What remains of the middle class is at stake and we'll find out if we're a nation that can be bought and sold...

[kentuck]

14. Yep.

Right on.

[coalition_unwilling]

22. Spelling Nazi here: "Gilded Age". A "Guilded Age" would be an age where Labor, i.e., Guilds,

were dominant or resurgent, and I'm almost sure you did not mean that

BTW, agree with the substance of your post and The Great GagsMe.

31. Guilty As Charged...

...flying fingers got the best of me. Originally I was going to use Antebellum...

[coalition_unwilling]

35. Or maybe that's (drum roll . . . wait for it . . . )

"Guildy as charged"

The bad puns are flying off my keyboard this a.m., yes?

On a serious note, please see (and comment on) my thread from a few minutes ago: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021075465

10. He's probably a billionaire

although "hidden". As it is, there are about 425 "reported" billionaires in the U.S.

Link: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein/wp/2012/06/24/the-billionaires-list/

Never thought I'd see the day that the entire Forbes 400 list was populated by billionaires.

[Kalidurga]

11. Romney might be a billionaire...

but he is the worst excuse of a human being. His fortune started with being funded by RW El Salvadorans that funded death squads. There are too many stories of him abusing both animals and people. His personality seems to be bordering on sadistic and wooden. I think the only time he feels alive is when he is causing someone pain. I seriously doubt he doesn't abuse Ann, which might account for her strange behavior. Yeah, I still don't like her, but I would at least sympathize with her situation if this is the case. Anyway, how many people do you know that act like Mitt does and aren't abusive at home? I don't know of any. Plus, he acts all smarmy like a lot of abusers, oh bother I am rambling.

[HubertHeaver]

12. $0.245

[bermudat]

13. Easily a billion.

[doohnibor]

15. Max Keiser thinks so

He pointed out that the one year we have tax returns for, 2010, Mitt had 20 million in income. He then pointed out that this was all passive income and with interest rates the way they are, it would be difficult to be getting more than 2% on your wealth as passive income. At 2%, you'd have to have over a billion in assets to generate 20 million in income.

[TheManInTheMac]

16. I wouldn't give ya two bits for him.

[MrSlayer]

17. Billion plus.

Hiding it all over the place.

[Bluzmann57]

18. Zero

Yeah he's got a lot of money, but he's totally worthless.

[Edweird]

19. About $4.50 if you include his skin. Since I'm a nice guy I'll round up to $5.00

[Bertha Venation]

20. Yeah, well, here's my snark

He's not worth the pot he pisses in.

Edit: Sorry, Kentuck.

[moondust]

21. Diddly squat.

[rateyes]

23. as much as the proverbial

teats on a bull.

[Marr]

24. $1 billion

Give or take a few hundred million.

AND he wants a tax cut AND he wants the plebes to pay more. Because that will fix the economy. Which is broken largely because wealthy people pay next to nothing in taxes and are hording wealth.

[GoCubsGo]

25. Maybe you should rephrase the question...

To "How much do you think are Mitt's total financial assets?" Because, as several others here have stated, Mitt, himself, isn't worth the shit that comes out of his ass. As for his financial assets, I'm betting that he's a billionaire, too. I don't see how he isn't. This is a guy with an IRA that's worth $100 million, alone. He gave his five sons another $100 million. I am not clear as to whether it's $100 million to the five, or they each got that much. If he has that kind of money put into just these two things, you know damn well there's a ton more where that came from.

[smirkymonkey]

37. It's strange that he wasn't on the Forbes 400 list. I wonder if they are doing him a favor or if

he's keeping his accounts hidden offshore and in other names. I would assume that he's worth billions and would definitely be on there if his financial assets were honestly disclosed.

[NRaleighLiberal]

26. I cleaned a few Mitt Romneys off my back lawn today - dog poo duty.

[NV Whino]

27. A plugged nickel?

[trof]

28. A Brazillion?

[Raine]

29. As a human being ... absolutely NOTHING. :-( nt

[PDJane]

30. I'm with Max

His main assets have to be in the range of a billion dollars or so, in order to generate the passive income. Add trust fund of 100 million to the kids (it appears to be one trust for all of them), another 100 million in his IRA (I'd like to know how he managed that), offshore accounts, a probably trust fund for his wife, and, and, and............

I don't think I like this man very much. By the way, you will notice he says that he has paid all the taxes that were owed, which doesn't mean he's not been gaiming the system.

[MineralMan]

32. Well, I'd give you 5 cents for him.

Once I got him, I'd put him in the wheelie bin for the Monday trash pickup.

[jmowreader]

33. Depends on how many gold fillings he has

If you give Mitt W. Romney life without parole, wait till his sentence ends, recover the chemicals from his carcass and sell them, you'd get about ten dollars.

The metal in a gold dental restoration is worth about $50 so if he has five gold fillings, he's worth $260.

[mopinko]

34. nobody worth $250M has $100M in an ira.

c'mon.
