Ultra-Rich Mitt Romney in 1% of the 1%

Wall Street Bankruptcy POLITICAL BUTTONAccording to the Wall Street Journal, Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney had an income of $21.7 million last year.  This puts Mr. Romney in the category of the ultra rich, the super rich, the mega rich, the 1% of the 1%.  In fact, Mr. Romney is in the top 0.0025% of Americans in income.  He makes the 1% look like the 99%.  His earnings are over 800 times that of the median American wage earner.  Scientists and political philosophers alike speculate that it may be existentially impossible for Mr. Romney to be anything other than a Republican.  Poor Mitt, so much for the freedom to choose.
