Thats one of the most pathetic responses I've ever heard in my entire life. Who gives a **** how many are unemployed, as long as Republicans dont win right?
Yeah, really. The libs just want to give the unemployed handouts and not jobs. Who gives a crap if they ever get a job as long as they vote democrat. That is all they care about.
Mitt wasn't wise to talk about the 53% as lazy. A good republican candidate would have discussed the sheer number of people receiving handouts as a result of the Obama economy and not laziness.
Then again, we have become accustomed to celebrating mediocrity in this country. We celebrate gas being below $3.50. Under Bush, if gas went this high, the libs would have sent out a lynch mob or something. Now, it is worth celebrating??? Record numbers of people are still on food stamps and no one seems to care as long as there is no Republican in the White House.
You clearly don't understand the number that you quote. 47% have full-time jobs; 11% work part-time; 5% are unemployed and 39% aren't in the labor force. You insult active military personnel, who aren't in the 47%, when you say, "if they can't get it for free they don't want it."
Those not in the labor force include:
retirees
the military
College students
Stay at home parents
People available for work but not searching
Institutionalized people
the disabled

the Obama economy? Newsflash: Obama didn't invent elderly or low paying jobs.
Are you for real? Arguing that Walmart cashiers make TOO MUCH money?
The sole purpose of capitalism is profit, and elimination of the workforce, free labor, or a reduction of wages, is all an inherent part of that. Lovely, isn't it?
Walmart employees make more than minimum wage - so that's not the issue driving automation.
