Why Mitt Romney should have to pay $3,339.04 for a pizza

A pizza would have to cost U.S. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney $3,339.04 for him to understand how average people live.

That’s based on his 2010 earnings of more than $21.7 million and the average professional, scientific or technical wage in Canada of $63,941 a year.

has not done anything in his life to be even worth paying him the 3000 plus dollars.
He is nothing but a corporate leech.

I seriously don't think he could do the math.

At $500 each they'd have to pick between sausage or pepperoni, and he can grumble that there's no way he'll pay that much for a few lousy onions. Then he'll know what it feels like to be an average family. No cheesy bread!

Good point. Kudos to whoever did the math on this.
