It seemed to be “big” news yesterday that Romney raked in a helluva lot more money than Obama did last month. Or May. Whenever. Something like $106 million to $71 million. Doesn’t seem like much of a surprise to me. I mean, they guy’s got lots of pals with big bucks, and the rich folks are terrified that they’ll have to pay a few more bucks in taxes (that they won’t even notice). So why wouldn’t they back Willard?
Just look at this chart. Under the GOP plan, the top 1% will pay about $50,000 more in taxes if Obama has his way. And that’s just a drop in the bucket compared to all the other ways they figure on cashing in on a Romney presidency.
Speaking of Romney, he has no idea whatsoever where his money is at. I guess when you’ve got so much of it, it’s hard to keep track of. Poor man.
As expected, this is a painfully slow week. Hard to believe it’s only Tuesday, ‘cuz it sure feels like it ought to be at least Wednesday.
