Old people.
Make them pay their share!
oh boy, you people and your dramatics
Also: because half of all Republicans are old farts living off Social Security who can't figure out they're part of the 47% themselves.
lovely
I know. Isn't it amazing?
Once people hit 65 most of them have stopped paying income taxes. Once they're in their 70's hardly any of them are paying anything at all.
Romney hates old people, but most of them are Republicans!
Republicans complain about 47% paying no federal income tax -why?
Is it because they want to raise taxes on the poor?
Is it because they hate the poor?
Or is it because they like to bitch and complain?
It's because a majority of those in the 47% are more than capable of getting a damn job, and there is no need they should be living off of the hard work of others who do pay their Taxes.

If most old people are republicans, then why do liberals tell old people, republicans want to take your ss away? Makes no sense, but neither do liberals.

If 47% of us didn't have to pay to see a movie, the other 53% wouldn't get in.
If 47% of us didn't have to pay for food, 53% of us would have to pay out the ass for whatever was left.
If 47% of us didn't have to pay for gas, we wouldn't care what the other 53% had to pay.
If we all had to pay in something, we would all be more concerned about how our money is spent and not just care who kept our free ride going.
That's called 'setting a match Two the strawman'

MITT said INCOME tax, he forgot about those who live in states that have an income tax; like almost all CONs he ignores the other TAXES.

But it is the dependency issue that requires real information. Income for the lower half of American earners has been growing very slowly since the late 1970s -- more or less when Ronald Reagan took office. Compared to economies overseas, the wage performance has been just plain bad.
Why? The declines of unions, the refusal to raise the minimum wage with inflation, and the increased pressure by Wall Street to minimize expenses in the short run -- typically labor expenses -- have all contributed. So have rapidly lost manufacturing jobs and globalization in general. Finally, on average economic growth was slow in the 1980s until the mid-1990s. Only in the late 1990s did growth push the unemployment rate down adequately to boost incomes for the lower half. In the 2000s, we had adequate growth but little job or wage growth. Without social programs like the Earned Income Tax Credit, the lower half would have hardly seen incomes grow at all.
Was dependency a cause of low incomes? This is easily refuted nonsense. Had social programs hurt rather than helped Americans, poverty rates would have been low in the 1950s. As Michael Harrington alerted America, the poverty rate was probably 30 percent in the 1950s. Finally, the U.S. government computed a poverty line -- a low one, mind you. It found the poverty rate at about 22 percent.
Why? Couldn't have been dependency. The War on Poverty had not yet begun. By the 1970s, however, the poverty rate was down to 11 percent. As Social Security expanded, elderly poverty rates fell from 50 percent to about 10 percent. And so on. These are the purposes of government, Mitt.
