Mitt Romney is going to make me a sorry seer. I blog that he’s bound to come back, then he says the dumbest, most damaging and most unintentionally revealing thing I’ve heard in politics in ages.
 
Romney’s “47 percent” remarks hurt him on so many levels.
 
One, he’s wrong. I’m voting for Obama. I know a lot of people who are voting for Obama. I don’t get a government check. Neither do they. But he assumes we’re all a bunch of mooches.
 
Two, it sounds like he wants to raise taxes on 47 percent of Americans. Which is exactly what the Obama campaign is nailing him on.
 
Third, it sets in concrete the image of a rich, elitist, callous candidate who divides America into people like him and people like the rest of us. And he shows total contempt for the rest of us.

So, let me get this straight. Since you, personally or others aren't on the government dole...that means what Romney said is bunk...wrong. I see. There's an old saying: "The exception doesn't disprove the truth".

I hope you're believing that with another 4 years of Obama, there won't be a massive number of people taking from the taxpayers in our country. You believe that somehow, this will be turned around under another 4 years under Obama. That what you're thinking? If so, kudos to you Gary.

There is just so much money that the wealthy and the "richies" have in our country and after that is gone, what will fund the huge number of people on government entitlements? It's good stuff..now..but at the end of the day, what will happen after we don't have those rich folks paying more into the tax system so that those that don't have jobs and don't contribute exist?

Are you absolutely sure, Gary, that Obama is going to bring our country back to having taxpaying citizens with a bunch of jobs? Are you positive that Obama's policies are all about getting more taxes into our government because just so many people will be employed and paying into the "system"?

Or are you just one more "progressive" that thinks that those that succeed, those that achieve, those that pay taxes will always be there to take care of those that don't do that? Truth? I know you won't (never have) answer this but you have to look into your soul and question your beliefs on this.

What are you wanting for our country? An entitlement state paid for in the short term by those that do have wealth? Then, you're a fool. Sorry for that "tag"...but, it's just the truth.
