Eva Longoria delivered an amazing speech, one that reveals that she’s an accomplished activist and philanthropist.

“Mitt Romney would raise taxes on middle-class families to cut his own — and mine,” said Eva Longoria. “And that’s not who we are as a nation, and let me tell you why: because the Eva Longoria who worked at Wendy’s flipping burgers — she needed a tax break. But the Eva Longoria who works on movie sets does not.”

“And just like our president and first lady, I took out loans to pay for school. I changed oil in a mechanic shop, I flipped burgers at Wendy’s, I taught aerobics and I worked on campus to pay them back,” she said.
