"When you went to work... everyone else on the block was doing the same thing"


There was a line about Romney's ideal America where, apparently, "when you went to work in the morning, everyone else was doing the same thing."

Yes they were, Mitt... They were all looking out their windows saying, "There goes that asshole Mitt Romney, off to work."

Because for most people, work involves actually doing jobs, instead of firing people who are doing them, for the sole purpose of enriching yourself at their expense.
