Romney is right that 47-48% of people will vote for Obama no matter what. Just like 47-48% of people will vote for Romney no matter what.
However, it’s absolutely wrong to claim that the lowest 47% of income earners (i.e. those that pay no federal income tax) will automatically vote for Obama. Obviously, he does not know those people. I come from those people, I know those people, I work with those people, I help those people, and MANY poorer people are very religious and very conservative. The problem with Romney’s commment is that it shows that he, like many others, are totally out of touch.
The problem in this country is not the bottom 47%. The problem is the liberal elites, and their hollywood/media influence. That’s not the bottom 47%.
you are correct. I guess I am referring to the percentage (whatever it is) that receive direct welfare type benefits when they could be earning an honest living. There is no disgrace in being the working poor. You have nothing to apologize for. We need your vote more than ever in Ohio, FLorida, Iowa, New Mexico, Colorado, Wisconsin, Indiana, West Virginia, Michigan, etc.
