Bowing to intense political pressure, still presumptive Republican presidential nominee Willard “Mitt” Romney has released his 2010 and 2011 (estimated) tax returns. If there were more perfect examples of the inequity and unfairness of our economic and political system, I can't think of any.

The most prominent revelation is that Romney, a former venture capitalist tycoon, makes more money ($59,452) IN ONE DAY, than the average American family makes ($49,445) IN ONE YEAR. And just to rub salt into the wound, he can do this WITHOUT WORKING. That's right, while the rest of America is trudging off to work (if lucky enough to even have a job) Mitt can just lounge around one of his 3 (that we know of) luxurious homes, sip lattes, and do absolutely nothing. Only regular people are forced to make money by the sweat of their brow; privileged people like Romney make money off of money.

Also not surprising is that in 2010, Romney paid taxes on his income ($21.7 million) at a rate (13.9 percent) less than one-half of the rate paid by most of the rest of us.

But possible future first lady Ann Romney attempted to put all this in perspective the other day when she told a Florida audience, “I want to remind you where we know our riches are. Our riches are with our families.”

Yeah, right lady! It's obvious Mrs. Romney is even more out of touch with the real world than her husband.
