4,000 Families Make More Money Than Mitt Romney
Mitt looks down on the 1%. He's in the top .0025%. The typical "one percenter" is poor to him.
In fact, his income puts him in about the 99.9975% income bracket. Put another way, Mitt is in the top 0.0025%.
According to Saez, who told me he used “the standard Pareto fit” for the Mitt calculation, there are at least 4,000 families that make more than Romney.
