The logical conclusion to your statement is that it's okay that 47% pay no federal income tax and since you're a federal income taxpayer, you're more than willing to pay even more in taxes to support that 47%. Is that how you feel?
Republican's are reportedly "against" higher taxes. Are you perhaps envious of the folks the Republican's policies have removed from Federal tax liability?

Here's another article that reiterates what Romney's saying:

Romney's 47% remark
Spoken like someone who has never had to live hand to mouth.


It seems Mittens is evolving into a less likeable Dubya.

Kudos.

I don't think his remark is going to sit well with Joe Sixpack who works hard but takes all the legal deductions he has like his home interest, his child care credits, medical expenses and such and therefore has an AGI that means he has no remaining tax liability. Apparently Romney thinks it is OK for him to use foreign tax shelters for his millions to avoid taxes, but anyone who takes a child care credit is a hopeless, dependent loser.

LOL this meme is so tired from the Left where are the fact checkers? Should it not be pointed out that outside of Idaho the states being referred to as "red states" contain the highest percentages of Blacks and Hispanics, the most disproportinate users of welfare?

You have a problem with the over 20% of the population who are children and not paying taxes?

The largest percentage IS Democrat.

Look at what percentages identify as either Republican or Democrat according to income levels in the chart at the bottom of the page, here:
