Loaded question. They have a lot of down time, so it's perfect for doing side jobs and businesses. His question made it sound like their kids would starve if they didn't work two jobs.

No Mitt, that's the kids of the people who can only find part time minimum wage jobs after you had them fired when you gutted their former companies on one of your corporate takeover raids. Prick.

BTW, Great graphic EarlG. Just had to rant a bit.
