As America continues to borrow money to pay for all of its Welfare Entitlements, Romney has finally stepped in to hit the much needed home run idea of downsizing the Free Stuff House of Cards that is the Federal Welfare Entitlement Plantation in a very Polarized America.

BTW, to the lurkers: It is all about the money, our Grandchildren's money. To the LAM: BRING IT!

The 47% are being bribed with our tax dollars for vote to elect Obama..Isnt that illegal?

[Colonel Kangaroo]

Grouping working Americans who don’t happen to make enough to pay federal income taxes with welfare moochers is inaccurate, unfair and will make it much harder for Romney to win the election. The implication that working Americans of modest income are lacking personal responsibility was reprehensible. Class warfare is ugly no matter which direction it comes from.

Problem is I doubt he actually has the stomach to execute such a plan.

47% don’t pay taxes. Almost half the country receiving on government support programs. Explains our $16 trillion national debt and why we are close to bankruptcy. The only remaining question is this: How long can the Federal Reserve continue to prop up this house of cards buying up most of our government bonds?

‘Free’??

Really?

Government = Every person in the US who gets up in the morning, punches a time clock and pays TAXES!!!

There’s no such thing as FREE

"Romney is correct that 47 % of voters pay no Personal Federal Income Tax. Romney is probably correct that these same 47 % will vote for Obama no matter what. "

Romney is both wrong and an idiot.

• Even if Romney believed that. It was a stupid thing to say at a fund raiser. I need money because my opponent already has half the vote locked up?!? Yeah, good luck with that approach.
• 47% that aren't paying tax, includes those that are unemployed, but would like to work. They were not going to auto vote for Obama. They are going to vote for the person with a plan to get the economy going again. Which means they will probably just stay home and save gas this year since neither candidate has a clue. Or absent an economic plan, they may well vote for the person who is not going to cut their support.
• 47% not paying tax does not equate to 47% on the government dole. How many people can Romney stereotype with one statement?
• People on Social Security and Medicare are receiving an insurance benefit that they paid for. They will vote for the person with the best economic plan. That is unless one of the candidates who doesn't have a plan is threatening to take away their benefits.
• Even people on the government dole want the country to have a strong economy. Romney's stupid to write off all those people. He is driving people into the Obama camp.

Ronald Reagan's tax reform removed millions of people from the roster of those required to pay federal personal income taxes.

Take your argument up with him ~ at a later time of course.

In the meantime, let's hear no more of this nonsense. Makes you look cheap and tacky ~ and labels you as a DEMOCRAT

Obams’s Government PETS.

Another index of Polarization in America is the inequality between Needs and Cash. That is the disparity between needs demands of those 42 % of Worker-age adults who are not in the Nation’s Work Force and the cash available to pay for their needs.

Currently, the Federal Government has to borrow 40 % of the annual Federal cash expenditures in order to pay for the 42 % who are not in the Nations Workforce, the 47 % who pay no Personal Federal Income taxes, the “99” % OWS victim advocates.

BTW, maybe that is how the Democrats figure out what their annual cash spending goal is going to be: Just total up all of the percentages of all of the overlapping sub-groups. The above Democrat math would be 188% of Annual income, un-discounted for graft, theft, inflation, vacations, and GSA Conventions, of course.
