Im not the 99%; But I AM THE 47%; Thanks Romney, confirmed my Dem vote for 2012

[healthmyths]

Go shit on a police cruiser, bucko,

and get back to me, when you can afford yourself.

Why would I shit on a cop car? Thats disgusting, and the people who do that disgust me. The Occupy movement disgusts me. Maybe you can't read "Im not the 99%". But I'm part of the group, mathematically, that is the 47% Mitt doesn't give a fuck about.

Yes, I can't afford to join a country club.

Yes, I'm second-homeless. And third-homeless.

No, I dont have money stored offshore. Unless you count the cash I lost in my wallet that fell overboard on a cruise back in 04.



These radical righties are pushing more and more people away from them. It's not that the Dems are attracting us. It's that shit like Mitt's attitude are making us sick, and incapapble of voting GOP.

YOU are a liar! YOU never would have voted for Mitt because YOU are NOT smart enough obviously to understand what he said!
He KNOWS idiots like you aren't smart enough to see his rationale that if YOU are NOT paying taxes why would you non-payers like you that believe the LIE that Romney wants to cut Medicare/SS (FACT again FACT YOU and other idiots completely IGNORE is NO cuts are necessary!)!
So Romney KNOWS idiots like you that don't deal in the FACTS that
A) SS doesn't need to be CUT ... just a simple change of age from 65 to 67 makes SS solvent!
B) Medicare Advantage PLANS ARE designed for CHOICES made by consumers WHICH will ALWAYS be Superior than the ONE SIZE fits all Govt. solution!

Both these simple concepts ARE GOING WAY over you TAKERS heads... so he's writing you off because YOU are stupid and vote for the image not the Principle!

The proud 47%ers, destroying our nation and damn proud of it. Give em another 4yrs, and the destruction should be complete. It's very sad.

51% begins the downhill slide..

Yeah, stealing fellow Citizens' money is a proud Socialist/Progressive tradition. But the Entitlement Gravy Train has derailed. What's gonna happen when 'Generation Gimme' finnally realizes that? Third World Misery here we come.

well so far, none of them has an answer for "what then?"

The proud 47%ers, destroying our nation and damn proud of it. Give em another 4yrs, and the destruction should be complete. It's very sad.

You know most of our military is among that 47%. And cops, teachers, firemen, nurses, construction workers, and the list goes on and on.

Stop patting yourself on the back.

Your dependency mindset is destroying America.

But you don't care. You get free gubmint stuff.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Wow bucs that was totally convincing

I bet you get a new set of hope n change kneepads for that

 

[LadyGunSlinger]

FYI Willow. You're part of that 47% as well. Not that you care about being hypocritical.

No you're wrong. I still pay FEderal Income Tax. Now tell me what it is I can do to get out of it?

Do you get a federal rebate equal to what you pay into income tax at the end of the year?

Why is it any of your biznez what people make or get back in regard TO THEIR OWN MONEY?? Notice how liberals are always worried about other people's money? Fucking bums..

 

[Dot Com]

No, the only thing I think I'm entitled to is all the money I was forced to pay into these systems so that morons like you can call me a moocher. Remember that SS and MEDICare are not choices the money is forced from you ..

So you only receive the equivalent of medicare coverage for what you paid in? Once you hit that dollar amount, you will no longer accept that Medicare coverage?

I will stop receiving medicare on the day it is no longer the law of the land. fact is I smile every time I use it. I think of you and how i'm gonna use it up before you can get to it.

How dare you?!!!

you are flat out lying, I worked as a nurse for 40 years I fucking paid FEDERAL INCOME TAX and still do,, so why are cops, teachers and firemen exempt? cause they be union? Oh and my husband worked in construction and he paid FEDERAL INCOME TAX also.. so keep those lies a comin you stupid democrat.

So you'll continue to benefit even past the amount you contributed? Welcome to the 47% and "government dependency".

 

[LadyGunSlinger]

But you get Medicare, right? You're one of the victims Romney referred to who thinks they're entitled.

Go dive in to your foodstamps loser and stop nosing in to someone's personal income that's none of your fucking biznez..

PS- You can't buy a gallon of whiskey with your foodstamps.

 

[bucs90]

Hey! Bucs,, I like your list of 47%ers,, it marvelous,, but do tell now, what's gonna happen when the takers outnumber the givers? I'm old, I've paid taxes my entire life, still do,, How do the 47% of you manage to get out of it? I want to join you.

THAT is the problem with the new right wing attitude. You all have imagined two groups of "Takers" vs "Givers". Like the old black vs white of the 60's.

EVERYONE takes, and everyone gives. The amount of giving and taking varies. Some give far more, some take far more. Every single country club living right winger "takes" when they buy an alarm for their 1st, 2nd, 3rd home. Yep. Cops protect those gated communities. Fire depts respond to them. It's not "taking" much, especially if you aren't the victim of a crime or fire.

EVERYONE gives. Even the poor lazy welfare queen. She takes a LOT. A whole lot. But "gives" by paying sales tax....even it if is on beer, cigs and lottery tickets. Now...dont get me wrong...that shit needs to be reformed.

But my point is, MOST people aren't among either of the above examples. Most are in the middle. Most give some, take some, and maybe a bit more or less than the rest of the middle.

And as for the income tax....that supports the federal govt. The military. The massive military that keeps the dollar high by maintaining American dominance in the world. Keeping our market valuable. The rich profit hugely off that stability. Thats a price they pay, and we ALL benefit from, because a great market means jobs for the 47%. And the people working those jobs help that company get bigger, richer, and the rich who own it benefit. It all works together. We all work together.

But any man who shits on that concept will never get my vote.

Agreed. The rich are handled w/ kidd gloves the way the current system is set-up WHICH WillowTree doesn't seem to mind. The only flaw in your argument is the good blue-collar jobs started getting out-sourced in the 1970's by the likes of Bain Capital & others. A *cough* "job" aint what it used to be for a HS graduate, hell, even a college grad w/ certain degrees.

True.

It's hard to have a civil discussion with these lunatics on here though.

Somehow, they think if one doesn't pay a federal income tax, then that means they pay "NO TAXES". Obviously not true, but when one is drunk on tea, they cant grasp that.

And they can't grasp the idea that someone can vote Democrat this year....and still hold many of the same ideals that were there before. Like the fact that I'm all for welfare reform, tort reform, raising the SS age to 67, or hell, make it 70. That I'm in favor of lowering taxes (For EVERYONE).

I'm voting AGAINST an attitude. Not a policy. The radical right simply disgusts me right now. Hell, by November, I may be so sick of it all that I may just not vote, and instead watch College Football Gameday on ESPNU at 330pm on that Tuesday.

Of course I will. You don't expect me to invest money without earning "interest" do you. You really think I'm stupid enough to have money forced out of my hand for 40 years and not be paid interest on it?

 

[Katzndogz]

Romney was right. 47% of hard core democrats won't vote for him. Democrats prove this every day. Saying it shouldn't be a shock whatsoever. Those who are receiving government benefits and don't pay taxes aren't persuaded by an argument of lower taxes. To the contrary, their battle cry is raise taxes. Taxes need to be much higher, so they can get more.

Willow, it's none of these BUMS business what you make , etc.. Don't buy in to their bullshit tactics.. All they're doing is creating a strawman.. anything to absolve their messiah creating a welfare state.

 

[paulitician]

Much darker days are ahead for our Nation. It's $16 Trillion and growing. And adding Millions & Millions more Citizens to the Entitlement System, will sink us eventually. It certainly isn't anything to gloat about or be proud of.

Good for you. You are an American heroe, and we all should bow down to you.


Cops, firemen, teachers are exempt because most of them dont make enough money to pay income tax. They can barely pay their power bills (Note: I'm NOT referring to the overbloated union ones in Chicago, Jersey, Cali, thats a different issue, and if lunatic right wingers could have a civil talk they'd see I'm consistent on that).

Oh, and "cause they be union"???? Glad you weren't my nurse.

.We've never thought that moron. we've consistantly said we ALL pay all those other taxes in ADDITION 53% of us pay FEDERAL INCOME TAX and 47% of you do not. Can you grasp that concept or do you need remedial help?

And they can't grasp the idea that someone can vote Democrat this year....and still hold many of the same ideals that were there before. Like the fact that I'm all for welfare reform, tort reform, raising the SS age to 67, or hell, make it 70. That I'm in favor of lowering taxes (For EVERYONE).

The only bowing came from Barry.. A sitting US President who bows to dictators, enemies.. Makes ya proud hmm? I'll bet you get a boner when he bows at crotch level huh?

 

[HUGGY]

Well, looks like my gut instinct was right. Local politicians started throwing cops and firemen under the bus in 2010 on the wave of the tea party drunkenness. Now, Mitt Romney flat out says he doesn't give a shit about....oh....around 150,000,000 Americans.

I wasn't part of the "99%" movement.

But I am part of the 47%. I was part of it when I was a cop. I'm part of it now in my new (and far safer) job. LOTS of military members are part of the 47%. And teachers. And firemen. And stay at home moms. And nurses. And daycare workers. And pet shelter workers. And tradesmen....carpenters, electricians, steel workers, construction workers....you know, the unsung contributors that keep America humming.

Yep. I thank Mitt Romney

Why? Voting Democrat in 2012 was a hard choice. I made it almost purely on the anti-cop, anti-firemen trend many local GOP'ers have shifted to. But now....Romney reflected the self-satisfied, pure arrogance that many of the extreme right show now. Absolute selfishness.

And as a Christian, and an American who has lived his whole life as part of the 47%, I find that attitude disgusting.

And I salute Mitt Romney. Thats all we ever asked for out of a politician. It took some staffer at the ballroom of the $50,000-a-plate dinner to secretly record it for it to come out......but we got HONESTY. Thats all.

We know where he stands now, and where his supporters stand. Vote accordingly.

President Obama....if he wins, and I'll have voted for him.....man, you have to do better in the 2nd term. We have major problems, and you're the lesser of two evils.

Good thinking. It's the mindless hatefullness that has pushed me away from the newGOPers. It's the voting against one's own best interests and doing it proudly like that sacrifice is worth supporting haters.

Now if you want to see Obama succeed what you might do is support a dem in a race that will take a seat in congress. Help your own situation and that of all other good Americans by removing the Ryans and Cantors from office. You know what Romney will do if elected. If you want Obama to have a chance at helping America let's give him the power to do it.
