And while your at it, ask him how much he gives to charitiy and how much he pays for taxes each year.
Paying people to work is not giving people money for nothing. Anybody that works a 40 hour week should not have to live below the poverty line. It is the taxpayers that are subsidizing these businesses by providing food stamps and other programs, which by the way, these workers qualify for by virtue of their income. And this includes many employees who work for The Villages and other vendors in this area.
