American Life

Not only did corporations and the rich convince us to tax them less, which meant less revenue, but they lobbied for a low minimum wage and shipped all the high-paying manufacturing jobs to China, which basically meant more people would need government assistance, but we’d have less tax money to pay for this assistance due to low tax rates. What a scheme that is!

WHO ARE THE 47% THAT DON’T PAY INCOME TAX?
WHO ARE THE 47% THAT DON’T “CARE FOR THEIR LIVES”?
WHO ARE THE 47% THAT ARE “DEPENDENT” ON THE GOVERNMENT?
WHO ARE THE 47% THAT VIEW THEMSELVES AS “VICTIMS”?
ANSWER: VETERANS, SENIOR CITIZENS WHO HAVE PAID TAXES ALL THEIR LIVES, THOSE WHO WORK AND PAY INCOME TAX, AND THOSE WHO ARE IN POVERTY.

Veterans and senior citizens are apart of the 47% that do not pay the “income” tax but receive government benefits. According to Mitt Romney, veterans and senior citizens are “victims” that dependent on on the government, don’t take “personal responsibility,” or “care” for their lives. Let us remember that senior citizens paid taxes all their lives and veterans risked their lives for our country.
Who else is apart of the 47% that don’t pay income taxes? Americans who have jobs and pay the payroll tax, or those who are in poverty. This man is out of touch with reality!

MITT ROMNEY IS THE 47%

Mitt Romney believes that veterans, senior citizens, and those who are struggling on the minimum wage are “victims” and are “dependent on the government” because they don’t pay income taxes (even though senior citizens have paid taxes their entire lives, veterans have risked their lives for our country, and many struggling Americans have jobs and pay the payroll tax). How are any of these people not taking “responsibility” for their lives…?

I’ll never convince them [47% of Americans who either pay real estate tax, payroll tax, sales tax, or are retired] that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.

There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what…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. That that’s an entitlement. And the government should give it to them…I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.

Bill Clinton compares and contrasts Democratic and Republican economic results:
“The Republicans have held the White House 28 years, the Democrats 24. In those 52 years, our economy produced 66 million private sector jobs. What’s the jobs score? Republicans 24 million, Democrats 42 million!”
“…here’s another job score. President Obama: plus 4 1/2 million. Congressional Republicans: zero.”
“…we all know that Governor Romney opposed the plan to save GM and Chrysler. So here’s another job score. Are you listening in Michigan and Ohio and across the country? Here’s another job score: Obama, 250,000; Romney, zero.”
“Republican economic policies quadrupled the national debt before I took office…and doubled the debt in the eight years after I left…”
“…they’ll just do what they’ve been doing for more than 30 years. They’ll go in and cut the taxes way more than they cut spending, especially with that big defense increase, and they’ll just explode the debt and weaken the economy.”
