Cons have applauded Mitt avoiding taxes by having money offshore.
Now they're condemning tax dodgers ... go figure.
Occupy Wall Street: Who is the top 1% for income? - Oct. 20, 2011
Think it takes a million bucks to make it into the Top 1% of American taxpayers?
Think again. In 2009, it took just $343,927 to join that elite group, according to newly released statistics from the Internal Revenue Service.
**************************
Now, I don't know if combined income counts.
Back in 2005/2006 it was closer to 400 K. So if Michel and Barack count combined income...does that put them in the 1% group for those years (they were well over 400 K combined) ?
Well, if not...you always have Ms. "I'm there for the small guy"......
Lizzy Warren
When it comes to being a class warrior, Elizabeth Warren is merely a studio gangster. When asked about congressional insider trading on MSNBC Thursday night, Warren said, I realize there are some wealthy individuals Im not one of them, but some wealthy individuals who have a lot of stock portfolios." But as BuzzFeed points out, the Massachusetts Senate candidate is definitely one of them. Her own financial disclosure forms show she's worth as much as $14.5 million, which according to The Wall Street Journal's net worth calculator puts her comfortably in the top 1 percent of Americans, and she lives in a $5 million house. Warren is more likely to invite the rich over for a fancy dinner party than she is to eat them. If she does have any pitchforks, they are sterling silver and from Williams Sonoma.

After Barack Obama became an Illinois state legislator, his wife moved up as well, scoring a job as 'vice president of community relations' at the University Of Chicago Hospital for a very generous salary of $121,910. When Obama became a senator in 2005, her 'salary' leapfrogged to $$316,962 for the same job...and one of Senator Obama's first acts in office was to see to it that the hospital received over a million dollars of your tax dollars as an earmark.
Well, Michelle has moved on,and guess what...that vital job of hers,worth a salary of over $300 K has been quietly eliminated.
It's the Chicago Way, cushy no-show jobs in exchange for political patronage...fist bump.
Of course, she had to work twice as hard to get half as far. She said so, so it must be true.
Michelle Obama's $300K "Job" at Hospital Eliminated (Obama earmark kickback)
*****************************************
At first I thought this just happened.
But a little looking seemed to show this happened right after she left.
Speaking of "left"....is there any reason they don't see this as suspicious ?
I'm betting no.
I wonder when Mitt brings this one up....cause if he does not....someone will.
No wonder Obama want's spoused off-limits. His is going to be a real liability.
Next, we'll check on Valerie Jarrett's slum projects.
As the chronology of the posts shows, the OP misleadingly asserted that the First Lady was getting all types of sweetheart and near no-show jobs based on nepotism and patronage. When I produced information proving that wasn't the case, you then kept reiterating that she was being paid outrageous salaries for short periods of work. But since I produced information proving that wasn't not the case, you now change your tune again and bitch that YOU just don't like the fact that she got paid $100k for being an executive director at a hospital!
So when all is said and done, YOU and your moronic minions just don't like the FACT that the First Lady had the brains to be an executive and receive executive salaries that WHEN EXAMINED WERE NOT OUTRAGEOUSLY EXCESSIVE.
Bottom line: Michelle has worked for a salary and was part of the process to determine the salaries of other employees. Mrs. Romney has NEVER worked for a salary since getting married....so for Mitt to use her as a ruler for the working American woman is a joke.
Deal with it, chump.
Well, no.
You will be the one dealing with it (along with all your liberal friends).
That you actually try to spin this as not being a sweet-heart deal is incredible.
But America seems to buy this kind of crap all the time. Look at all the tax dodgers he puts on his staff....and keeps.
Not to mention Van Jones.
316K...all that matters.
All that matters is FactCheck.org PROVED the contentions of the OP to be MISLEADING AT BEST, DEAD WRONG AT WORST.
Learn to READ, genius....the $317k was CUMULATIVE, NOT LUMP-SUM.
But neocon/teabagger parrots can't handle details....they just take a big number or headline, kiss Rove's/Limbaughs/Murdoch's/Moon's/Armey's ass, and run with it.
Run, my non-LISTENING little parrot, RUN!
Buh-bye!
Ok so the smug little liberal doesnt get it. What is the appropriate salary? Oh and I'm not a neocon... I love those kinds of labels.

whoooooooa you are an idiot. I never said I didnt like that she got $100k. I didnt even argue with the details of your article. The point of my posts is to point out YOUR hypocrisy. You dont mind democrats making big bucks, but hate it when republicans do. AGAIN, I dont care what Michelle made, even $300k, good for her!!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!!!! BUT you would BITCH A FIT if it was a republican in her position, now wouldnt you?
Jeeebus these BS stories were discredited 4 years ago ferchissake...ZZZZZZZZZZ

Dear God, you're such a willfully ignorant little neocon parrot, ain't ya Steph?
Bottom line: FactCheck.org PROVED the OP of this thread was WRONG. YOU and your moronic cohorts can't accept that, so now you're shot gunning every negative opinion, supposition and conjecture about the First Family to avoid acknowledging the error in your belief.
Grow the fuck up, will ya Steph?
Michelle Obama accused of spending $10m in public money on vacations | Mail Online
You want some more....look at this spending.
At least Romney has that much to spend.
Good Grief !!!

fact check is the be all to end all is it?
do you kiss your mother with that ugly vulgar mouth...and you telling others to grow up is quite the hoot..I bet you threw lots of temper tantrums when you were a kid the same as you do now..or maybe you are still a kid? what 15?
Let's just face it. The Obama's are not rich people but they get their priveleges from us. They have more vacations in exotic places than any other president at an alarming amount of money (tax payers money) where presidents in the past usually had residences of their own to go and relax. They are expensive, but I think their logic is, they have to cram all they can because they have but one term at the spoils.
