CNN reports:

Perry, campaigning in South Carolina, cast Romney as an out-of-touch corporate raider with a long record of hurting workers.

“I had to shake my head yesterday when one of the wealthiest men I suppose has ever run for the presidency of the United States, the son of a multimillionaire, Mitt Romney, he said ‘I know what it’s like to worry about whether you’re going to get fired. There were a couple times when I worried about whether I was going to get a pink slip.’ He actually said this,” the Texas governor said at a campaign stop in Anderson.

“I have no doubt that Mitt Romney was worried about pink slips, whether he was going to have enough of them to hand out because his company Bain Capital with all the jobs that they killed, I’m sure he was worried that he’d run out of pink slips,” he continued.
