http://motherjones.com/mojo/2012/01/newt-gingrich-im-not-rich

Not rich? This past summer, Gingrich had to file the financial-disclosure form required of presidential candidates. It revealed that he has a net worth of at least $6.7 million and that his income was at least $2.6 million in 2010. That's about 65 times the income of the average family of four in the United States. That puts him well into the top 1 percent (about $520,000 a year or more) and close to the top 0.1 percent. He, of course, had that $500,000-plus tab at Tiffany's, and weeks ago was boasting that he pulled in $60,000 a speech. These are the sort of actions that tend to be associated with richness.

hahahahahahahahaha. how can these people even be considered for presidency? Greed and lies. We need a common person who knows the law, a people of the people from the people. Someone like.....









.....Dr. Ron Paul for 2012 President! :cool:

That's how they think. They genuinely believe their income and wealth levels are the norm. That's why they think $1000/yr is nothing

Well, he's basically a pauper compared to his financial benefactors...

And that $60K for a speech is plus expenses- he won't be staying at motel 6 or eating at MickeyD's...

Kind of like all the elite clowns that are huge supporters of #Occupy like Michael Moore that don't consider themselves the 1%.

I like how he brought up clowns. Sweet, delicious irony.

Still, don't let a parrot squawking ruin your day. It's what they do.




Newt is losing it. To say that after he's been in the news spending like a drunk sailor at Tiffany's, or jetting off for luxury cruises in the Med, or charging more for one speaking appearance than most Americans make in a year, wow... just wow.
No wonder his defenders think the only way to defend that is too divert or say something even stupider. Or both, as the case may be... ;)

Link where Michael Moore doesn't consider himself the 1%?

Nevermind: Found it. WTF was either of these guys thinking?

By the way, where is spidey proclaiming that Newt is right and he is nowhere near rich?

You're poor when you see someone's 240 foot yacht and you only own a 125 footer.

What happened is Moore one of the people your company is working for?
Is your all too obvious contempt for working people causing you liberal guilt problems?
Is your hard work and success driving you towards the dark side of capitalism?
Use the Force Luke Stormwalker! Use the Force!

Why are you bringing up Moore in this thread anyway? You have not commented on the OP and have tried to steer it the other way toward Moore since the beginning. There is a little button called "New Thread" at the top of the forum that you can use to create a Michael Moore claims to not be in the 1% thread (if there isn't one already).

Now back to the topic on hand....is Newt rich?

I had just read a story about 50 backers of #Occupy that are very wealthy, even "rich" so well into the ranks of the 1% that wanted to deny the fact that they're wealthy. I thought it tied into this thread.
Yes, Newt is wealthy, even "rich".

3 simple questions, I thought even you could answer them.

1) Do you do any work connected to Michael Moore ? i.e. Do you make money from him?

2) Does your obvious contempt for working people (factory line worker as a slur) cause you liberal guilt?

3)You constantly brag about your financial success, is it the dark side of capitalism coming through?

4) Just a humorous bit.
