Hillary courts waiters

Last night Hillary Clinton - along with Bill Richardson and Barack Obama - addressed the Culinary Workers Union Local 226 in Las Vegas. Jonathan Singer of MyDD:

Sen. Clinton spoke first, highlighting her experience busing tables in her younger years, a comment that elicited a fairly strong response. Clinton’s biggest applause line, however, came when she said she believed the IRS should stop harassing tip earners and start looking into the improper use of loopholes by corporate CEOs.

A waiter in NYC for ten years, I believe that too.
