Since she was part of what would be the 47% if she were here in the US she realizes what Willard will never realize. People don't choose to be part of that 47%. Not many of us in college had the stock daddy gave us we had to sell because we were so "poor" like Willard and Ann.

I worked two jobs in college and I lived in the basement of a house. So, stuff it Willard, Ann and all the rest of you 1%.

Take a lesson from Rowling on how to actually be Christian and charitable. And sorry, no, Willard giving 10% to the Mormon mega-corporation does not count in my opinion.
