Im not confused at all. Romney is saying poor people who receive assistance fromt he government and end up paying no income tax after deductions are freeloaders who dont take responsibility for their lives. He used a blanket term saying "47% pay no income tax" then lumped all those people into the aforementioned categories of not taking responisbility for their lives.

 

So what Im saying is, these people obviously dont have capital gains which are taxed, cause theyre poor right? So in essence if it werent for Romneys cap gains, which he admitted in the debate are his entirety of taxes, hed pay no other federal taxes after deductions.

So the only reason Romney pays taxes are because his wealth of money, is making him more money. If it werent for that hed pay no other taxes.

 

Yes, basically all his income is from investments. He'd be essentially retired if he hadn't been running for president for about a decade now. So if there were no cap gains tax, he'd pay no taxes. But there is, so he does. What does any of this have to do with anything at all?

It just shows that his generalization of "people who pay no income tax" is off base because only the slightest change to his money making him money would put him in that category.

The same as how veterans, unemployed, struggling families, wounded soldiers, elderly etc. may all pay no income tax and to say they have no motivation and/or indifference to their situations so theyre all voting for obama cause theyre lazy etc, is an awful thing to feel if youre going to be president.

So my idea here is generalizing people who are weak and lower than you, holding contempt for them and then asking them to be their boss and in control of their livelihoods when you display such an arrogance to the finite variables involved with their situations and conditions is utterly ridiclous.

Its one more example of romneys horrid world view, kicking balls down the road for foreign poloicy because it "cant get done", this 47% comment about how everyone with assistance or no income tax are leechers and not down on their luck good people. these views are not appropriate for the presidency. Great for a business man, thats why he was successful, he could divide lives, profit then run on a generally small scale with little consequence generally speaking. He cant do those things as president. 

Its sort of pointless discussing this because he simply wont win, but its fun to digress from time to time, i suppose.
