Romney(rawmoney) gets most of his income from capital gains. He admitted his tax rate is about 17%, less than his secretary’s by percentage. Some people are a parody of themselves. It is amazing how being over endowed with financial resources can turn one’s mind to mush.

One thing rarely mentioned is that companies like McDonalds that pay minimum wage are costing the taxpayers a boatload of money, because even a full time worker at $7.25/hr can’t get by. They need WIC, SNAP, and other assistance. Raising the wage to AT LEAST $15 would render the workers able to pay their rent and buy groceries on their own. It would make them feel better, and free up money for other things, like improving schools.
