Mitt: If you have an extra dollar or two, send them along to help Sandy victims

An extra dollar or two, Mitt?

How much extra money do YOU have laying around? How much money have YOU given to non-Mormon charity agencies?

Instead, you're asking the poor and middle class to scrounge around for an "extra dollar or two".

Just like your fucking tax plan. Don't ask the rich to send an extra thousand or million. No, they need that money to "invest" in whatever. No, just ask the poor and middle class to carry the burden.

Here I am filled with guilt because I'm completely broke, at the moment. I get paid Monday, so after I pay rent and bills, I'll see what I have left.

Pretty sure Mitt & Co. have more than a few bucks to spare and aren't depending on their next paycheck to scrounge up maybe $25.

I heard this several times on the news while listening to the radio to and from work, yesterday and today.

If you Google it, though, you'll easily find several links to confirm this. Including the actual audio.
