[Make7]

2. Is it more or less than $40,000 after taxes? ( n/t )

[Phx_Dem]

13. Good question. Michael, what say you? n/t

[Blue Owl]

[sarge43]

Schmuck.

[BeatleBoot]

5. So in touch with Main Street

These Republicans.

[MrModerate]

[goclark]

30. I'm delighted to have "Lil Mike keep talking

His foot remains firmly planted in his mouth.

[phleshdef]

7. Even taxed at the highest amount possible, you could buy my house several times over.

[Arkana]

8. Here, Michael, let me play a song for those sad, sad millionaires

ON THE WORLD'S SMALLEST FUCKING VIOLIN.

[tuvor]

11. Sounds like an elitist to me. n/t

[Phx_Dem]

12. Trust me. When you've never had a millions dollars, it's alot of money!

What a fucking Michael Steele-thing to say.

Boo.

[azmouse]

14. I guess when someone hangs around with multi-millionaire politicians

it colors the way one thinks.

He should visit with ordinary Americans trying to pay all their bills on meager salaries.

[MUAD_DIB]

15. That's 12 years of an income of $50,000.

[PBS Poll-435]

20. Wrong. It's 20 years. nt

[MUAD_DIB]

34. I was taking taxes into accout.

The op mentioned 1 million after taxes.

[jenmito]

16. But he claims he's "street" and sh**, bragging about growing up on the

streets of DC and "keepin' it real." :eyes:

[JBoy]

17. Well, I'm sure that remark needs some context.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[RoyGBiv]

18. Michael Steele is a moron ...

Trust me.

[soupkitchen]

19. It's the bling talking

[KansasVoter]

21. So he is saying $500,000 (worst case) is not a lot of money?

[BlueIdaho]

22. The gift that keeps on giving...

[Rosa Luxemburg]

23. It's just lovely!

[tanyev]

24. Keep talkin', Michael. You be da man!

[auburnblu]

29. "You be da man"?

If he were white would you be phrasing your post this way? Wow, I have uncovered the senator from Neveda on here.

[JeffR]

32. The reference, since you seem unaware of it,

is that Michele Bachmann actually said that publicly to Michael Steele at C-PAC, February 26, '09.

http://www.politicsdaily.com/2009/02/27/you-be-da-man-michele-bachmann-tells-michael-steele/

[auburnblu]

35. Did not recall that

It appears then Michele Bachmann may be a certain senatr from Neveda in disguise.

[JeffR]

37. Not out of the question.

Somehow there must be a comprehensible explanation for Bachmann. Maybe you've identified it.

[tanyev]

39. What JeffR said.

No, I would never phrase it that way for anybody. But then I'm not all "hip" and "with it" like Michelle Bachmann is. :)

[SaveOurDemocracy]

25. More stoopid from Steele. n/t

[BootinUp]

26. I have to agree with him

how is someone like that going to buy the biggest house in the highest real estate priced areas, while going to the best restaurants most days, while owning every tech gadget one desires, while taking the best vacations one can dream of more than once a year?

[Jennicut]

27. I hope the Rethugs keep him, he is hilariously clueless.

[TomCADem]

28. Shoot, pass the contribution bowl around for Mr. Steele

[bigwillq]

31. What a joke.

:mad:

[BeyondGeography]

33. Oh, that's quite good

:dunce:

[Blasphemer]

36. Trust me, Mr. Steele, most Americans will be willing to take that pittance... nt

[DailyGrind51]

38. Mike, if you don't want what's left, send it here!
