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

[WillowTree]

Wow the ignorance of the left never ceases to amaze. Democrats like people on social programs, it gives them a vote, that's what Mitt was saying and he's right. The truth shall set you free.

Eggsactly the democraps celebrate dependency and freeloading.

 

[healthmyths]

Go shit on a police cruiser, bucko,

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

This must be that class warfare I've been hearing so much about.

You are the one that identifies with police cruiser shitters!
You are the one that appears to be a TAKER and NOT a maker!

And ROMNEY is 100% correct... He is writing you off because YOU like Obama are TAKERS!

And you you don't seem to comprehend that simple Aesop fable about :
Killing The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs is among the best known of Aesop's Fables (Perry 87) and use of the phrase has become idiomatic of an unprofitable action motivated by greed.

You and other "Redistributors" have NO IDEA obviously as to HOW the real world works!

YOU kill off incentives to make a profit, you kill off innovations. Medicine advancements! You kill off civilization and then where will you be???

 

[RDD_1210]

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.

You're already there! Now neg rep me and let's move on with more of your hypocrisy.

You're just a fucking flat out liar. You have no possible way of backing up your claim.

You're retired and on Medicare. How much in federal income taxes do you pay?

 

[NYcarbineer]

Oh come the hell off it. It was never in doubt.

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?

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

Wow the ignorance of the left never ceases to amaze. Democrats like people on social programs, it gives them a vote, that's what Mitt was saying and he's right. The truth shall set you free.

Then why, historically, have members of the military, police and fire depts tended to vote overwhelmingly REPUBLICAN? Because all those men and women are mostly among the 47% who dont pay income taxes.

I suppose it doesn't make sense why those sectors of service men and women would vote GOP when in fact they aren't paying income taxes, right???

Well, dont worry. Thats slowly changing.

 

[Murf76]

I actually think Romney should take heart in the number of Americans who DON'T approve of Democrats purchasing votes with taxpayer monies. Half of my extended family is in that 47%. Every one of them will vote AGAINST the socialist policies of Barack Obama that would keep them there. Yesterday, while driving by a fairly run down trailer near the side of the road, right there in the front yard I spied a "Romney" sign. These folks were obviously not well to do, but they clearly still understand what Liberty means. They might well be on food stamps today, who knows? But it's apparent that they don't want to STAY POOR, living on crumbs from the table of the political class.

Democrats are nothing but plantation overseers. They plant as many people as they can into furrows sorted by grievance, sprinkle them liberally with fertilizer and sparingly with crumbs, then harvest their votes every two years. To allow these folks to truly achieve would be to allow them out of their assigned furrow... and that ain't happenin' as long we have Democrats in a position to stop it.

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.

We all pay for those things, 47% pay no FEDERAL INCOME TAX that means the other 53% of us have to carry their asses around.

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.

You're a pure democrat and you should proclaim it loudly and stop all this pussy footing around.

Sit down before you break a hip old man.

I'd bet I make twice as much as you. I've had two wives with cancer and my only brother is a parapalegic who needs round the clock assistance, but go ahead and tell me I don't know how the real world works.

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 ..

That's a lie. Medicare is in no danger from Mitt Romney. In fact, all those who are currently in the program would experience no changes under Romney's plan, and those who choose Traditional Medicare in the future would be welcome to do so. Under Barack Obama, there's NO PLAN. Medicare will simply become insolvent because it's already on that path and he's done nothing to prevent it.

 

[FJO]

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.

So you are saying that you would rather vote for a lying piece of crap, who would redistribute everything you have, than for someone who has the courage to be honest?

Do you honestly (sorry, I should not have used that word, because by your own admission, it offends you) think that the redistribution of wealth would stop when there would be no more billionaires?

Or when there would be no more millionaires?

Or when there would be mo more middle class?

No, it would only stop when there would be nothing left to redistribute and the likes of Obama would be the only ones not effected by their policies.

Kind of like the overlords of the former Soviet Union.

This must be that class warfare I've been hearing so much about.

To anyone's estimation,
I have no "class."

I take no gov monies;
I grow veggies;
I raise stock;

I'm the poorest richest mo-fo in this house!

p.s. the gov hasn't heard from me in, lo, these 40+ years

 

[paulitician]

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.

I pay FEDERAL INCOME TAX on my SS and on my RETIREMENT. AND I paid for the SS for the entire 40 years that I worked. SS is not an entitlement.

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.

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.

Of course you are.

Fortunately, the remaining 53% of us agree with Romney.

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.
