LOL.....Mitt's wife says her husband did not accept his salary as Governor of MASS! So there!!!

[Logical]

Mitt SACRIFICED as Governor!!! He decided not to accept the $135,000 salary!

$135,000 is a LOT of money.....unless you are multi-multi-millionaire!

Lets say Mitt made a paltry 1% return on his $200 million net worth. That is TWO MILLION dollars a year. And we know he made more than %1 on his money!

So Mitt turned down $135,000. Wow, that is like someone with a net worth of $200,000 (own your home, etc) turning down $135.

So I am not impressed with Mitt turning down his salary!

This woman just does not get how clueless she comes across.

Turn over your Tax Returns Mitt. Prove us all WRONG!

1. but - but Ann could have gotten 1/10th of a dressage horse with that

or maybe a new toilet in one her 4(?) mansions.

[Logical]

4. Great point. That is 2 years dancing horse deductions! n-t

[rateyes]

2. Why should he have accepted his salary?

He did a piss poor job.

[JBoy]

3. Who would want to earn regular "income"? Do you know what tax rate that has??

[soccer1]

5. Ted Kennedy never accepted a salary when he was senator....

how many years was he in the senate....46 years?

I guess Ann might be trying to say her husband isn't greedy. Well, show your tax returns and we'll see.

[rustydog]

6. He drew no salary and had the 47th worst job creation record out of 50 Governors

[Motown_Johnny]

7. But he says we wouldn't want a President who would pay more taxes than necessary.

I fail to see the distinction between paying an extra $135,000/yr and allowing the government to keep $135,000/yr that would have been paid to you.

8. That's money he could have donated to his church

They did not get their cut. Why is he so against the Mormon community?

[treestar]

9. That only highlights that he makes so much money he does not need it

And most people don't make anywhere near that.

[Zanzoobar]

11. Most of them don't need it

As had been pointed out on DU many times, the problem revolves around the haves and have nots.

10. He probably settled for stock options

But without the documentation, we'll never know, will we?

[ProSense]

12. Romney on speaking fees:

[Logical]

16. Wow, that really shows how clueless that guy is! n-t

[Cali_Democrat]

13. Ann has never worked a day in her life

She wouldn't even know what a salary is.

[alittlelark]

14. It's a paltry tip, given the BILL.

[felix_numinous]

15. This couple is in shit waders already

--there is no way they can make it to the WH on their own merit, so the R's will try to steal it. Let us not be outflanked by these dirty dealing mfers.

[pipoman]

17. He couldn't...

then there would have been a more serious ethical issue of conflict of interest...accepting pay from both the people of the state and corporate enemies of the people of the state just wouldn't be right...
