Mitt is simply going with the major sentiment of the day. Perhaps, his statement about the very poor was referring to the safety net he will fix with RomneyCare. "Remember all you poor folks without a concierge doctor", "use your Mitt-Card for big savings at your doctor's office or hospital". "Don't leave home without it!"
Not only is French-speaking Madame Romney a leach off his daddy's inheritance, he's also a leach off the US taxpayer as well:
Mitt 'Free Enterprise' Romney sought and received federal bailout for Bain - Auburn Journal (http://my.auburnjournal.com/detail/197617.html - broken link)
Is there any Republican running who isn't a complete hypocrtical dirtbag?
Yea....HE'S a leach. He donated something like $4 MILLION DOLLARS to charity and paid another $4 MILLION in taxes.
Not counting the hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales tax and property tax.
I really want one of my fellow democrats to answer this, what is shocking about this statement? Or better yet, did you actually believe he cared about the poor before he made that statement?
Being Poor is not that bad. Consider the facts below between the poor and the middle or working class.
By being "poor" you will get:
Pay no tax (the benefit is you will never get the taxman to harass you)
Free money from Earned income credit (you work just enough to be call "poor" or get pay under the table)
Free or very low cost housing
Free Medical & Dental ($0 out of pocket)
Free food (food stamp)
Free cell phone
Best of all: You retire early
By being "middle" class or the working class:
You pay tax 1/2 to 60% go to tax man
You every market price for housing
You pay for your own medical/dental. (I'm paying 500/mo for my family thought my company and there are copay)
You pay for your own food
You pay for your own cell phone
You work until you die
Because Madame Mitt is running for president, and judging from his background (where he inherited his millions from rich daddy), and his plan to increase defense spending while cutting taxes for the rich, it is plain to see that his plan is to finish the job that Dumbya Boosh started: rack of huge deficits, destroy America in process, and channel more and more money to his millionaire friends while the middle class bears the brunt. His comments simply reflect what most of us already know.
We already had a spoiled brat Village Idiot from Texas who destroyed America, we don't need a spoiled brat Village Idiot from Utah to finish the destruction.
Well there's another sound byte that Obama will use against him. Not quite as zany as the moon colony idea from Newt -- that one doesn't need to be taken out of context at all and it sounds crazier than anything. But obviously this new Romney sound byte is taken hugely out of context.
We'll see which looks worse if it's Mitt vs Obama. Clips from 2008 of Obama ranting and raving about George W's record of deficit spending and the bad economy, or short sound bytes like these. Wisest thing is for Romney not to generate them, even if they are taken completely out of context.
