Where did he get the percentage of ''47% that feel they are entitled'' and do not take any personal responsibility for themselves?
Is there some other graph and chart that shows people dependent on the gvt at 47% that is DIFFERENT from the chart and graph that shows 47% of workers and seniors do not owe any taxes?
Please, by all means, show me this chart on these 47% who feel entitled and don't take responsibility for themselves
and show me it is a DIFFERENT 47% FROM the chart making the rounds on the 47% who does not owe any income taxes...
IF you show me one that is different from the one making the rounds about those who owe no taxes,
THEN I WILL EAT MY WORDS.....and agree with you that not is who he was talking about.
he was referring to his mantra....
47% do not pay federal income tax....so campaigning to them with the mantra of "I will lower your federal income taxes" will not excite them.
Youi need to understand.....he was talking to donors.....donors to him.....and he had a responsibility to explain to themn how he intends to use their donations....and he made it clear that he knows he will not get a good majority of those that like entitlements and higher taxes on others......
He uised the 47% number becuase it is a commonly used number as it pertains to federal income taxes.
But look...you want to believe he meant ALL 47% are moochers....go for it.
Sadly....the president thinks he meant that Romeny doesnt plan to govern 47% of the people beccuase they dont pay taxes....
How he got that out of that statement, I have no idea...
But THAT should be a topic....why does Obama have such a poor ability to comprehend what he reads and hears that he took it that Romeny doesnt want to govern those people?
But...of course.......it isnt.
