8. Most of them are already working.

Most of the people whose income is too low to justify payment of federal income tax are working full-time, but their employers are not paying them a living wage. To the "job creators" who want these people to pay taxes, I have a message: Give these employees a raise! Others among them are disabled, or too old to work. Especially at the back-breaking, arm-wrenching, knee-grating, foot-crushing labor to which they have been consigned. I have done waitress, cafeteria, cleaning, factory, and farm work in my time. The way these people are treated is ALREADY outrageous. Furthermore, many of these people DO volunteer work already. Mitt Romney is not putting in a weekly shift at a soup kitchen or a homeless facility or an animal shelter. Most of his fellow millionaires (probably billionaires) are not. I HAVE done volunteer work, and I know who I met there. The government labor idea, at this point, might be a good idea. That is why the Romneyites oppose it so vehemently.
