"G. W. Bush's fortune compares to that of the average wage earner in the US"

Saddam Hussein judged on the same criteria which would be:

"Saddam Hussein's fortune compares to that of the average wage earner in Iraq"

Any arguement so far??

Now Saddam is worth $2 billion the fortune of the average wage earner in Iraq is $?? - but I would venture a guess that it is not a great deal.

No figures for George W - he didn't even feature on the Forbes List - We can deduce from that that it is nowhere close to Saddam's "modest nest egg" (solely acquired while conscientiously doing his duty protecting and nurturing the people of Iraq). The average wage earner in America can safely be assumed to be earning more than his counterpart in Iraq - Yes??

See what way the maths are heading Carol?? - I do
