Richard is a City of San Diego sanitation worker whose route includes Mitt Romney's $12 million oceanfront villa in La Jolla, Calif. This is his story.

1. Man I hope this plays well with some audience. It doesn't play well to me.

My next door neighbor, living in a sub-$100K house and probably the most down-to-earth person on earth, very likely doesn't know or interact with our garbage collectors.

2. Can't speak for anyone but myself.....

...but the TRUTH always plays well with me.

3. Really? Can you imagine Mitt spending even one day doing Mr. Hayes's job?

He wouldn't last an hour with those soft smooth hands of his.

4. I also can't see Mittens......

...hugging or shaking his hand thanking him for the work he does, as Mr. Hayes says some of the others on his route have done in the past.

- He might have one of the household staff do it though......

5. There's so much

....sadness in this man's eyes.

Terrible what he says about being broken physically at age 55 or 60.

6. As a public employee, I say more power to Richard Hayes!
