Reminds me of when Romney was at that douchebag owner of Papa Johns place, and he said something to the effect "Everyone should live like this"

Well...sure! Why not? As long as you are willing to pay your housekeeper $200,000 a year and the guy who cuts the greens on your private golf course a wage that allows him to buy the house next door...why not?

Of course we all know it just doesn't work that way. I can work as hard as humanly possible but the way things are means I'll never be able to buy a yacht the size the owners of my company have!


What a dopey, clueless asshole.

there's no incentive for him to get up at the butt-crack of dawn to work in the hot sun all day and make your place pretty. Gotta keep the masses hungry to ensure a pool of eager laborers, yunno.

After all, the only thing keeping the Republican base from "making it" is the overbearing big government regulations and affirmative action.

If you work your butt off and never get a raise, the only wiggle room on your paycheck is taxes.

The dilemma of the 2%. Romney's suggestion is to borrow from parents, Trump would recommend inheriting your opportunity to succeed.
I would love to see more direct challenges to the Rethugs who support the wealthy donors at the expense of the middle and lower class wage earners. The Rethugs and their M$M mouthpieces would cry "class warfare" but I say, to quote a "brave?" former faux president: "bring it on!"
