All of the Obama controlled media are jumping on this.
He made the error of telling the truth.
I guess English grammar is not your strong suit.
Tired of? I pay $60K a year in Fed income tax, and I see balooning federal debt, and a significant faction of our population who rather sit on their ass, and let the government take care of them. Or is that too hard for you to understand skippy? Are you part of the "occupy" crowd?
That’s going to happen unless people get over this class warfare nonsense and begin to focus on retrieving our economy!
Finally! A Mu comment I fully agree with.
Now is time for Romney to double down, NEVER apologize, and attack Commie Obama!
Duh. The 47% riding in the wagon will never get off unless the wagon stops and they start having to walk again. Everyone knows that, but the media is blowing this non-story up to get attention away from the flames of Islam burning in the Middle East.
This is THE STORY for this week, unless they can find another anti-GOP “gaffe” to bray about.
Bullshit ! If Romney burps, farts, or stups his toe it will get reported by the lame stream media. Romney knows this and acts accordingly. What his said was simply the truth...a very sad commentary on American society, but nevertheless 100% accurate.
It's coming ~ and so far I haven't heard of a program to stop it
I watched Mitt and thought, once again, that he did a great job with the press but if he's going around calling Americans 'freeloaders' he's toast! Then I saw the video. In my mind it was completely innocuous and honest. He never used the word 'freeloader' or said anything even remotely disparaging. I agree with him 100% and I believe most people will immediately understand where he's coming from.
YOU ARE MAD
They are the ones waging war on us with MSM backing. What will happen to the welfare state when those of us who are footing the bill finally tire of it?
Those who are successfull, will have to more and more lurk in the background or actually move out. Ayn Rand knew more about our future than we realized.
“and so far I haven’t heard of a program to stop it”
Sound like a job for the Congress.
Depending on Nov 6, and the congressional results, I’m not holding my breath.
Do State Legislators have a chance if the US Congress fails?
Can you even speak English, and put a coherent statement together?
Sit around???.... I see help wanted signs all over the place. Plants are hiring left and right. Work is there for those with the right initiative.
That is one point I want to clarify though. I think Romney's 47% is overstated. The number that he should have alluded to, and that I want to villify is more like 35-40%.
By the way, I will call your "MAD", and raise you a DELUSIONAL" which describes you pretty aptly.
this counts fed workers and union members?
The SINGLE biggest thing the Republicans can do, at this point, is simply let the Bush Tax Cuts expire. The low-end tax cuts caused half of this problem by throwing millions off of the tax roles and into net receivers from government, via the Earned Income Credit (the other half was caused by expanded social programs - and the Republicans are simply unable to address that).
But the Republican leaders have demonstrated that they’re TOO STUPID to realize this mistake...
No way. How can you avoid class warfare, when the entitlement class has grown, and is getting addicted to “gubmit” aid like crack.

I think there is a difference between a war of words when someone else is doing the wording, and a real class war. Large cities are where the class war if it come to that, will be fought. Large cities are lost causes IMHO. The masses will control them if the SHTF. Those with any sense, will have an evacuation plan, and leave. Smaller cities in conservative states will be able to control the freeloaders.
The results of the coming election will certainly tell us just how much the entitlement class has grown. If Obama wins a squeaker, there are enough to do damage, if it’s a Romney runaway, then the opposite would be true.
...and for those of us footing the bill, or aware of who is footing the bill we can hope they both will be united against those who are “living the American dream” at the expense of those pulling the load.
I refer to the majority middle class taxpayers as:
The few, the proud, the taxpayers.
Even Warren Buffett, who encourages increased taxes, refuses to pay. Romney should point out the number of tax cheats associated with this administration as well as in congress, and include a tax simplification plan in his agenda. Turn the tables, this is a timely issue considering the Bush tax cuts are set to expire and Obamacare is reaching into our wallets. And I do not care, nor want to see Romney’s tax forms.
Hey Mitt:
Does that 47% include the unionized teachers, the UAW and other unions, the state municipal federal employees with those big salaries and bigger retirements who always vote Democrat???
Where do they fit in your equation???
If your big company needs to outsource their jobs, outsource them to a smaller AMERICAN company. There are milliions of smaller American companies that serve as outsource partners to larger American companies. Sometimes the smaller company can do the work more efficiently and cheaper because we (and I own one of those small companies) have a smaller, non-union workfoce of specialists.
And guess what? The work that we can’t do is outsourced to another American company that specializes in custom parts. Made in the USA — 100%.
We’ve even done work over for large companies that was done improperly in Mexico, or China.
I’d like to know what Mitt plans to do about it. It’s painfully clear that with current trends it will be just one election cycle, two tops, before the taker class has us permanently outnumbered.
And I just don’t think Mitt’s up to that challenge. This job calls for somebody like a Newt Gingrich, who is willing to take a machete to overgrown government, and who has gotten used to being called a bastard.
What Mitt said is what we have all been saying. We just haven’t had a leader who would say it. (Longing for Ronald Reagan.). Mitt has spoken the words. He must now stand up for his beliefs at every opportunity. In El Paso, we suffer the very type of voting that Mitt talks about. It wouldn’t matter how good your ideas were, what you planned for the city, how smart you are, how Hispanic you are...if you are not the candidate who wants open borders and welfare, you are not the candidate of choice. That straight ticket vote will go to the supplier of “free” every single time. That’s how someone as wealthy as Sheila Jackson-Lee of Houston gets re-elected representing a poor district. It’s that way in every Democrat stronghold. If Mitt wins, we teach young people to fish and we break the cycle. They will find that they love fishing. They will be proud to pass their fishing skills on to their own families.
