Rhymes with Mitt

zanzjanIn 2010, Mitt Romney made my annual salary in 1 day 1 hours 28 minutes and 40 seconds.
What I pay for daycare over one year, which constitutes not quite half of my *gross* income (ie, before taxes), he earns in almost exactly 8 hrs.
The amount I am allowed to deduct on my taxes towards that childcare expense is equal to what Mitt earns in approximately 29 minutes, or roughly half the length of the lunch break I almost never take because I'm too busy at work, because there aren't enough people to cover the workload.
And yet when he was the governor of my state, he froze my salary, railed constantly against "overpaid and lazy state workers", and slashed my benefits.
Do your own math.
(This is all because I don't have a penis and a nice suit, right?)
