Romney insults 47% of americans because they are poor.

Goodbye to romney's election chances.

His company was bankrupt and he said to the bank "either you buy my company for pennies on the dollar and assume the debt, or the little money we have left will "dissapear" into executives bonuses.

I'm not a fan of the banking industry, but jesus Christ that's shady.

How much federal income tax do you pay?

Which doesn't mean much considering I'm a full time student with a part time job, now quit dodging the question. How much do you pay?

[QUOTE="Chargeagles1"]

[QUOTE="Novotine"] you must be part of the 47%...THE_DRUGGIE

Actually I'm currently enrolled in a private university (in my second year) and am planning to do graduate work in Economics later. My family consists of people who are all college graduates and that includes three doctorate holders. Just because I'm living a relatively stable and comfortable life does not make be oblivious to the people who are less fortunate. So stop acting like a degenerate and show some sense.

I'm going to graduate with my degree at the end of the year and I think Novotine is just being silly.

My experiences in regard to politics has proven time and time again that people can be THAT stupid.

Both. Politics is unique because it is accessible by anybody, anywhere. You don't have to be educated to have an opinion. It then becomes a game of "who can shout out more talking points" than his/her opponent.

Ok you can be "promoter of the faith" then.

Maybe instead of pointing out the dirting things he's done, we should just list the things he's done ethically.

Thus saving time.

and time is money.

You're welcome 47%

Yeah, what are those bottom 47% even earning 150k a yr? maybe 200k? pffft lower class, they deserve the heat.

"There are 47% of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47% 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. And they will vote for this president no matter what."

[QUOTE="konvikt_17"]

this seems like people making things up or drawing baseless conclusions.

like always, misinterpretting a politicians words.

Guybrush_3

This is romney refering dirrectly to the 47% of people that don't pay income tax. Please tell me what I am miss representing here.

"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what.

"[M]y job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."

All he's saying is the government shouldn't make people dependent on them. What the hell is wrong with that? Oh, I forgot, pushing for personal responsibility and less dependency is equal to eating babies.

In all fairness...He is right...There are people like that in this nation. Maybe not 47%, but they are there. I see no douchebag here. Next attack please, you have plenty to go off of, don't waste your time on this.

He generalized every single person that doesn't get paid enough to pay federal income tax regardless of reason into that group. He insulted them for being poor.

[QUOTE="TopTierHustler"]

also, his wife is a bum, she's never worked a day in her life.

Novotine

This is sarcasm right? She is no way more productive. Most of these 47% are out working every day in horrible jobs and contribute far more to society than Romney or any of his fellow parasites.

I've never seen so many morons in one thread. How did any of you even manage to graduate high school?

How does he know they don't take personal responsibility for their lives? I'm sure most of them work harder than he has. This is a man who has never actually worked in his life. A man who defines having a hard time in college as having to sell off some of his stock that his father gave him.

It's okay America, you need to get through these naysayers and disconnected people like Romney before you can make progress.
Look at europe, even our poor people are covered and can get health care even mid-class families in America fail to get at times.

SpartanMSU

Please explain exactly why I am wrong. Is it because I don't think that everyone that doesn't pay income tax plays the victim role? Or that I think that just because they don't get paid much doesn't mean that they won't take personal responsibility and care for their lives?

He specifically stated 47% because that is the percent of Americans that don't make enough money to pay federal income tax. A lot of people that are too poor to pay income tax take plenty of personal responsibility and don't think they government should take care of them, but he saw fit to lump them in with lazy people because they are poor.

[QUOTE="white_wolf922"]

[QUOTE="TheWalkingGhost"] No he didn't. He didn't insult them for being poor, he criticized them for not taking any personal responsibility for their lives and thinking the government should care for them. All he did wrong was go overboard on the percent. He also didn't he doesn't care about them, just that in this election he is focusing on winning the votes of the others. Like a welfare kid is going to vote for Romney. I don't plan on voting for Romney, but at least get his words right.Mafiree

Nope, I'm serious. What has Romney contributed to society? He's destroyed a lot companies during his time at Bain Capital and shipped a lot of jobs overseas, he's hid millions away in tax havens and won't even release his tax returns. So tell me what has Romney contributed?
