Paul Krugman-Nation of Takers

4. Doesn't Romney have a point?

I mean, think of the Fab 400. http://journals.democraticunderground.com/hfojvt/123

They give so very much to this country. And what do they ask in return?

A mere $300,000,000 a year, on average.

Why that is a mere $9.55 for each second, barely more than a minimum wage worker makes for 3,600 seconds.

You know these people are worth at least $20 a second, even for the time when they sleep or when they sit on the toilet and take a dump. Because you know that when they sit on the throne they produce little gold eggs and not the excrement that the rest of us produce, foul smelling rabble that we are.

$9.54 a second. It's a miracle they can even survive on so little. Truly, their sacrifice is an inspiration to us all.
