Straight From the Horse's Mouth

So the Romneys are selfish for keeping a horse?

And employing a groom - with a family to support, and

paying for feed that’s sold by someone - with a family to support.

And transported in trucks by someone - with a family to support.

Which were manufactured in a factory by people - with families to support and

nourished with stuff that’s grown by farmers - with families to support.

And housed in a barn built by construction workers - with families to support,

using materials trucked by drivers - with families to support.

And made with materials from factories with workers - with families to support.

Sounds to me like Mitt Romney's one horse has already done more to put Americans to work, than that horse’s (oops) in the White House.
