If Romney is serious about helping the poor he has to do something not just talk...

move into a poor area and actually work with people plus donate 100 million dollars of his wealth to the Social Security Disability Fund....maybe then I will think he is serious.

They have yet to grasp the word volunteer. They have years in between seeking election to make a difference. But you never see them working with food pantries,soup kitchens,homeless shelters--any kind of community service in schools,nursing homes,hospice,hospitals. They only seem interested in their friends and connections and of course those grand photo op's which show them in humanitarian roles.

Rmoney's plan for the poor is to grow the economy (cut taxes, abolish regulations), expand opportunity (cut taxes, slash public assistance), streamline the government (privatize public service), fix our "broken schools" (privatize public education), etc., etc.
