This is a thread about those things. And precisely what is wrong with his statement? Do 47% of households not receive some sort of payment from the government? The Census Bureau says it's actually 49%. Is that a good thing? Why is Romney's suggestion that perhaps people who are receiving a check from the government aren't inclined to be sympathetic to the idea that the government should be writing fewer checks somehow scandalous?
