Romney doesn't care about 47% of americans

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.

Taxing his primary source of income at 0% is the "slightest change"? Okay...

This is just silliness. You previously claimed he's not paying anything in income taxes. The only reason you would do that is because you don't understand that capital gains is a form of income. Admit you were wrong and move on.

It's hilarious that he's such a horrible candidate (and he is terribly lame, IMO) and he's still neck and neck with Obama despite so much of the media outright campaigning for Obama yet again. Says a lot about what a shitty fucking president O has been, I guess.

Edit: And the idea that the president is the boss of us and should be controlling our lives made me hurl. The citizenry is the boss, not the other way around.

@ the bold. Once someone starts with the talkign points "liberal media" then my interest wanes. But that little ditty with the swear words shows some pizzaz but once you come to terms with reality and that Obama will be re-elected the aggression should subside.

@ the edit. Well ive done peer interviews to hire people at my Hospital. I sit down ask direct questions related to the position theyll be hired to and get direct answers. I dont have them send in 30 second clips of why the other potential hire is a communist or a neo-con and hire them to a 4 year contract without sitting face to face so id argue youre wrong.

@ overal discussion. Dont belittle other peoples opinions on a forum (asking a lot i know). I wasnt argueing tax definitions i simply pointed out my opinion on the comment in the context of reality. You show a lack of control which doesnt suit your argument, Once you and many others realize we arent swaying ideas and we will all walk away from these screens back to our lives with the same believes we are simply venting and looking for public approval from others, this will be a better healthier debate.

I am not "wrong" at all. I was simply pointing out my amusement of his comments which were this: He lumps all who pay no income tax/have benefits (47%) as not taking initiative, responsibility of their lives etc. I simply pointed out he only pays taxes on his money making him more money. If a Republican colleague Newt Gingrich were to enact his tax plan of 0% capital gains, Romney ADMITTED he would pay an effective rate of 0%. Which i found humerous because its not that outlandish that at one point Newt was on the verge of being nominee and then Romney could tell himself he needs to take personal responsibility for his life, thats all.
