The ad concludes with "Rombo" covered in mud from his own gun, and the ominous warning that "in the end, Mitt Romney's ugly attacks are going to backfire." READ MORE | ||||||

Social Security And You Many times over the years, I've seen Mom getting the short end of the Social Security stick in a mom-and-pop business because husbands and/or their accountants reported all the business income on the Schedule SE under Pop's name and Pop's Social Security number without thinking things through.
