Without the under 35 crowd, the right would own this country.

To hear them tell it we’re the problem because we want to collect what we were forced to pay into!!!

Exactly. The basic problem with Romney’s statement is that it was broad verging on outright incorrect. White Christians outside of the Northeast vote majority Republican far down into the net tax-recipient income range. Asian and Jews pay tend to pay high taxes and overwhelmingly vote Democrat anyway. It was true only with respect to the minority position in a demographic: find a white Christian in Texas who votes Democrat, and it’s very likely he’s lower income. Find a Jew or African American who votes Republican, he’s likely to be well off.

I’ve invested in things, too.

And lost money.

It happens. Deal with it. SS is a Ponzi scheme and ultimately unsustainable.

Someone’s going to have to lose.

It ain’t gonna be me. Concert artists are set for life by their early 30’s.

I’m 53......and still getting my fees before I take the first step onstage.

If you are going to post that picture everywhere, over and over, and over, why not reduce it all a little?

Correct, there is no 47%, that it why it is being defined in so many diverse, contradictory ways, it has no definition.

It is just another phrase that people absorb and work into every conversation, Romney revealed yet again that he is clueless about America, and the American people, the American voters, American politics, he showed himself as a surface skimmer again, shallow absorbsion, and mimicking, with no comprehension or personal input.

If you’d bother to check my homepage you’d see what I do for a living.

Oh, I conduct, too. This November I’m conducting Beethoven’s “Fidelio” in Austria.....Fun opera. Basic plot...girl dresses as man to bust boyfriend out of jail.....

That’s great…as talented as you are you’re probably paying the max and being self employed your pay twice as much. Thanks! Oh! I just remembered since you think people should pay in and then get screwed I think they should mean test SS and not give you anything…You obviously don’t need it...and don’t want it...win!!win!!
