The point is that the 47 % are not paying their “Fair Share” of PERSONAL Federal Income Tax.
The Federal Welfare Entitlement Plantation is now totally dependent on selling America down the river by selling IOU Federal Bonds to China and other bond buyers.
40 cents on every Federal Dollar spent go to pay for Entitlements.
40 cents on every Federal Dollar spent must be borrowed from those who buy Federal Bonds.
The 47 % who pay NO Personal Federal Income Tax will vote their wallets and keep Commie Obama in power.
Now is the time for Romney to double down, NEVER apologize, and attack Commie Obama!
What is wrong with saying 47% pay no income tax? Are they proud of the fact they pay no income tax?
I am finding this country and it’s “news media” tiresome. It’s like the public is incapable of being serious about governing.
Yay, this is the lead story at CNN.com today.
Romney is right, but he needs to be more careful even in private events and ASSUME what he is saying will get out.
Don’t think this is going to be as bad as I was afraid of last night, but still won’t help him and will again GET HIM OFF MESSAGE.
Everyone remember, Reagan was said to be a reckless, warmongering cowboy who hated the poor. He was elected twice.
Representative Democracies only continue, until the masses realize that they can vote themselves largesse from the government coffers, and elect those who are willing to rob from the people to get elected.
With 47% of the electorate not paying taxes, we have reached this moment, when we must decide if America is to continue, or perish under the good intentions that are breaking our bank and turning us from a nation of laws, to a nation of takers.
good luck mitt. call them what they are. leaches on the backs of the working class.
Is that before or after Obama speaks about his ‘57 states’ comment?
I think everybody should have a dog in the fight.
I hate taxes, but until we get to a fair tax or flat tax, it’s time for EVERYBODY to pay something. Once you do have skin in the game, you will all of a sudden become aware of how your tax money is being wasted.
When can we expect the lamestream media to release the video of the dinner with Barack Obama honoring an Islamic terrorist?
It was suppressed in 2008. If Romney is asked about the tape at the debate, he should turn the question around and ask the media about the tape they won’t release of Obama.
Aside from that, both the 47% and the Palestinian/West Bank videos tell the unvarnished truth (and Romney knows it...even if he calls it "off the cuff").
In fact, the 47% video looks like its blurriness was intentional (i.e. to look like it was taken by a spy). This was a tripod-mounted camera (it didn't move) and could have been easily focused or set on autofocus, but wasn't.
