GOP frontrunner Newt Gingrich: Poor children have no 'habits of working... unless it's illegal'

Republican presidential frontrunner and self-proclaimed nominee Newt Gingrich believes poor kids have no work ethic -- unless it comes to doing something illegal.

'Really poor children in really poor neighborhoods have no habits of working and nobody around them who works,' Mr Gingrich told fundraisers Thursday night at a dinner outside Des Moines, Iowa.

'So they literally have no habit of showing up on Monday. They have no habit of staying all day. They have no habit of "I do this and you give me cash"... unless it's illegal.'

3. Influence peddling is an example of an honest yankee work ethic
It takes a lot of effort to market names you can provide access to.

5. Who would know better than an idle millionaire?
He seems to have an . . . interesting familiarity with the concept of "I do this and you give me cash," and the customary illegality of such a transaction. I wonder why?
