Not a bad answer. I would have preferred something like “There is no such thing as free stuff. Only stuff that is stolen from other people..the government forcibly takes $1 from person A, and gives person B $0.50 worth of stuff..”

Your answer is much, much better

[fhayek]

Yes, Romney should have gone with something more in line with your answer. Romney’s answer is a non-paid-for Obama ad. Many people are looking for free stuff.

[Zeppelin]

Agreed.

I would have liked to hear “if you want free stuff at the expense of others, vote for Obama. If you want to be a burden on society, Obama’s your guy!”

[DoughtyOne]

I like your answer too, and I’d even go so far as to suggest you could reduce that $0.50 worth of stuff for the $1.00 collected.

Your answer is good....on paper. But not on the stump. Slogans must be short and catchy. “You want free stuff, vote for the other guy” works well.
