Thank you Service person who taped Mitt

In the words of Sean "You are a great American". This is way better than leaving your DNA in the food. You must be at home with a smile from ear to ear.
You may be bringing down the entire republican party. They(people at the fundraiser) may have been looking down their nose at you but you have the last laugh.

THANK YOU.

I would love to know who is responsible for the video just so I can send them a big Thank You!



Edit: And a big Thank You to James Carter IV for helping make it go viral!

They think the "little people" should be glad to have a job and don't deserve any "extra."

with banquet work, you're guaranteed a standard tip because the host does the tipping, and if any of the guests are rude to you, screw them. If someone snapped their finger and asked for water, no water for them, and no influence on your tip. So these servers knew they'd get their standard 18% or 20% no matter what.

But in a regular dining situation, you are correct. Rich people, especially rich women, are lousy tippers. Construction workers are actually the best.

This has been your Former Waitress Fact of the Day.

Back to your regularly scheduled thread.......

while listening to Mittens declare you a moocher and a hopelessly lazy drain on society? It would have been hard for me not to spit in their water glasses. I'm glad one of them had the foresight to do something constructive about it.

99%ers still needed by the 1% to do all their work - 1% should think about that everyday and night

The video is undeniably Romney as his "real self" and is invaluable because it is truth.

To the person who taped this: I wish you well, I wish you anonymity and I wish you safety. Please be wise in who you trust and take care of yourself. From all appearances up to this point, it looks like you are already practicing that.

Research this more, and push this story: Global-tech Advanced Innovations in Dongguan China, previously called Global-tech Appliances; an investment of Brookside Capital Partners Fund of which Romney is sole shareholder and sole director (from SEC records). His Bermuda company (I forget the name) is also invested in it. (That's all I've had time to look up about it so far.)


It's clearly important to the videomaker because the bio for their Twitter profile says this:

"Mitt Romney admits buying Chinese sweatshop while at Bain. 20,000 young girls. 12 girls per room. 120 girls per bathroom. Huge fences with guard towers."

Tweet posted today:

and yesterday:

@dailykos Apology accepted. C'mon Kossacks, stop the hand-ringing. Expose Global Tech. It's the place Mitt packed young girls 12 per room.

I don't think I should post the specific Twitter name. But yes, it's for sure the videomaker's account, and I found it the same way Carter IV did.
