107. Why work for money at all? Work for free and you can spend a lot of time with your family,

under a bridge or around a garbage container. Do away with ANY sick time, any bereavement time . Perhaps the ruling class will toss down more scraps if people work hard enough .Serf are good. Romney really admires them. Trust in the lord ,he will provide.

How about we fucking forget about family "values" and work toward HUMAN "values" ???
