Exactly:

    “All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it...These are people who pay no income tax...I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”

Fuck you. I pay a higher tax rate than you do you smarmy piece of shit. And that's a higher percentage taken out of a smaller income. Taking more from those with less, but who work every day for it.

Those were my initial thoughts anyway. I'll be damned if any of the apathy I've been feeling keeps me from from the polls now. I WILL cancel out a vote for Romney.

Yeah, it was my gut reaction. He basically called me a freeloader. Also, his justification is all screwy, mixing the 47% with Obama voters. In actuality, that 47% is found more in red states.

But he seemed very comfortable saying it. It wasn't a cheesy grits kind of Romney.

You work on gov't grants; of course you're a freeloader. Get a real job, hippie.

Probably fakes his income for food stamps and buys filet with 'em.

It's wonderful that Whole Foods accepts food stamps.

They have the most wonderful Tiramisu in the bakery. A little pricey, but melts in your mouth. Can't wait till the end of the month.
