Secret Service code names for Mitt Romney

Besides Mitt Romney, who else isn’t “concerned about the very poor”?

“Again, the point here is not that Romney did something wrong by paying the low rates current tax law lavishes on people like him.

PS: Yes, my tax rate is a lot higher than Romney’s. And I support policies that would raise it further.”
