Richard Hayes. The Man Who Picks Up Mitt Romney's Garbage.

The labor union AFSCME is out with a new video featuring Richard Hayes, the man who picks up Mitt Romney's trash at his oceanfront mansion in La Jolla, Calif.

In the spot, Hayes talks about how hard he works in his job each day and criticizes Romney's comments about the 47 percent:

My name is Richard Hayes, and I pick up Mitt Romney's trash. We're kind of like the invisible people. He doesn't realize that the service we provide -- if it wasn't for us, it would be a big health issue, us not picking up trash.
Residents do come out and shake our hands. Sometimes they give us hugs and thank us for the job we're doing, hand us water and Gatorades. Tell us we're doing a good job and keep up the good work. Picking up 15, 16 tons by hand, that takes a toll on your body. When I'm 55, 60 years old, I know my body's gonna be break down [sic]. Mitt Romney doesn't care about that.

in La Jolla, and tell the management that Mitt Rmoney's garbage is toxic waste and needs an Hazmat crew at Rmoney's expense to remove it weekly.

Then what would he do? Probably pay or order one of his servants to sneak it into his neighbors garbage.

Any idea what sort of distribution this is getting?

It should be a nationwide prime time ad!
