WASHINGTON -- After secretly filming Mitt Romney's now-infamous 47 percent remarks, a Florida bartender worried how releasing the tape would affect his personal life. He did nothing for weeks after the May 2012 event, wondering what to do. "I actually lost sleep having it in my house -- knowing what I heard," he told The Huffington Post in an interview late last year. "What do you do? Do you throw your life into turmoil?"
The man's life as a bartender was paycheck to paycheck. He was renting an apartment. He said he didn't own car. He didn't have a savings account. He didn't have health insurance. "I don't have close family that I could rely on for support," he explained. "I either pay my bills or I'm homeless."

OTOH, treat these people as the fellow human beings they are, and they will respond in kind.
(aka "The Golden Rule"
Bill and Hillary Clinton know all about this, and that's why they win their elections (POTUS and US Senator, respectively) Current POTUS Barack Obama, too.
Unfortunately, all this is lost on Mitt Romney. He just doesn't give a shit.
