Despite the fact that Mitt Romney ranks among the top 1 percent of richest Americans, the bottom line is that he is one of the 8.5 percent of unemployed Americans (as he had no earned income in 2010, according to his tax return).

To his credit, he is actively seeking employment (President, U.S.), and taking extraordinary actions to become a wage earner. Throughout this time of hardship, he has not made a single plea for a government handout, only handouts (campaign contributions) from the private sector in order to assist his job search. A fine example for us all.
