Romney is both wrong and an idiot. . . . .
______________________________________________________________

First, Romney is hardly an idiot. Those who have worked with him and around him say he is the smartest man they ever met. Being smart in and of itself is not everything however, Clinton was smart.

Second, the truth is the truth. 47% don’t pay taxes. That means they get free roads, free military and free whatever the government does. Someone has to pay for it, they don’t. They are freeloaders. Some of them may not want to be freeloaders but they don’t want their free stuff taken away so they WILL VOTE OBAMA! No matter what you do they will vote Obama.

Third the fulctuation of the unployed in numbers is comparatively small and those that are drawing unemployment pay taxes because until recently they have worked so they have income in some time to pay taxes on. The few that don’t pay any taxes still don’t want to give up their “free stuff”, although unemployment is not exactly welfare.

Fourth, no matter what you do or say, that 47% is always going to vote for more free stuff. That 47% is gone to Republicans. If National security gets to be a concern it MAY be possible to get a few of those votes but it won’t be worth spending money on to get.

Fifth, I am so pleased to finally hear someone in politics say it like it is. We are in a welfare state. Alexis de Tocqueville was right 200 years ago when he described our amazing country and said it would only last until the citizens realize they can vote them selves money from the Treasury. They realize that now because of unscrupulus politicians, politicians spelled, D E M O C R A T S.

In my humble opinion there are but few solutions to our economic problems. One of the most important parts of any solution would to make everyone pay taxes. When everyone is invested then it will be easier for the masses to be concerned about what money is spent and how it is spent.

It has been said that 2 things are certain in life, death and taxes. In the US it is only death that is certain.

Again, no one argues that 47% don't pay taxes ~ the whole issue revolves around the federal personal income tax, which is not the only tax. There are lots of taxes. If they don't get you with one they'll get you with another.

Why do you keep saying 47% don't pay taxes? Are you trying to make the people on FR look stupid?

Admin ~ I think this is another one like the one i Just told you about.

No one can come into the half dozen threads we have on this matter and not be informed about the facts. Just not possible.
