In America, the most difficult jobs, the hardest jobs to do pay the least.

Have you ever been a waitress or waiter? Have you ever worked in a kitchen? Have you ever been a janitor, or a roofer, or worked in a nursing home?

Have you ever done really hard, physical work for very little pay and no benefits?

Have you ever picked strawberries or lettuce? Or unloaded boxes in a warehouse, or worked at a McDonald's?

Minimum wage is what you get for working these difficult jobs. You make just barely enough to pay the utilities and rent, then there's daycare, gasoline, etc. Minimum wage is something created by the very rich so they wouldn't just pay you 10 cents an hour, or less. In other words, its modern slavery.

mitt romney has literally never worked a day in his life. Not real work. Not hard, physical labor. He never had to. I wonder what thats like. Never having had to work hard for minimum wages while raising 3 kids. I've never in my whole life met anyone who never had to work.

So there's no way a man like romney can relate to a man like me. We are from the same planet, but different worlds. romney is the kind of a guy who will force Americans to work for minimum wage, and then send millions of jobs to India, Taiwan, China and who knows where else so he can pocket EVEN MORE billions. He just never has enough, he always needs more, and hides it all offshore.

I've never been in the 'middle class', I guess I've always been a low class American, just scraping by, just making it, just keeping my head above water, learning how to scrimp, save, learning frugality and simplicity, stretching the budget, and I wonder what might happen to me, and people like me, if romney and the bush people get back in.
