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!

This election was about opportunity, not for some, BUT FOR ALL, and that’s the core of liberalism.

…Romney is a candidate of a 20 percent cut in tax rates, a new plan to cover people with preexisting conditions, and higher defense spending, and he will accomplish it all by eliminating federal funding for PBS.

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!

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.
