Romney has no use for 47% of Americans

I would sure like to see this gentleman on the ticket for President some day. Him or Secretary Rice.

The republic cannot survive so much dependency

Commentary: What the 47% who rely on government must know

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-re ... 2012-09-18

Gov. Mitt Romney’s comments about the percentage of Americans who have grown economically dependent on the government for their sustenance, and as a result, see little benefit in changing course, is neither new nor outrageous.

More than 170 years ago, the French political thinker and writer, Alexis de Tocqueville saw this coming, and warned of its dangers in his most famous writing, Democracy in America. Here is an excerpt below:

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.”

Our public treasury cannot sustain further “largesse.” Our national debt has ballooned to more than $16 trillion. The top 25 percent of wage earners contribute 87 percent of all tax revenue and it is numerically impossible to tax them sufficiently to pay for this expansion of federal government – let alone pay down our debt.

This November, Americans will not simply be choosing one man or another as president, they will be choosing the future direction of these United States of America.

The question is not whether one candidate is nicer or more likable or even easier to relate to. The fundamental question all Americans must ask themselves is what kind of a nation shall we be? And what does it mean to be an American?

Representative West is right on target. The left is making a villian of Mr. Romney because he dares to tell the truth. It's amazing that Alexis de Tocqueville called it so many years ago. It's already happening in California and soon it may happen nationwide.

It's actually 46.3 according to CNN they should know,,,


And I have no use for the victims either.

Martin Ent Inc wrote: On another note both Soro's and Buffet say that the economy will continue to tank regardless of the presidential outcome.

So that takes away the only reason people have given to vote for Romney.

Well think about it if Romney get elected, he blames the mess on Obama.
If Obama gets elected who the hell is he gonna blame now,,, LOL

I want it shown (just for the tally books) that I beat Romney to the punch by over two years... but does anyone ever listen to me? Noooooooo........


"Democrats voting for the people's interests? That's like saying the shark is concerned with the chum's health and well-being.

Democrats are creating an entitlement addicted base just to make sure they stay in power. They couldn't care less what happens to the people or the county, as long as their personal finances don't suffer.

It is interesting that conservatives are either ignorant or just liars. Where did the statement "47% of Americans rely upon the government" come from? It appears that Mitt pulled it out of his ass, and the right wingers jump on it as truth. It ain't.

But why let the truth get in the way of a good outrage when you can use a lie to justify it.

Uh,,, Dog it was on CNN this morning that 46.3% of Americans accept some kind of government supported funds/income.

I Mean AARrrgghh ^^^

Isn't the 47% the number those who don't pay income tax? It doesn't mean they rely on the goverment. GE didn't pay corporate income tax and may have some huge goverment contracts but they aren't dependent on the goverment for all their income, because they did build that, you know.

Yeah that 47% is a magic number. It is the number of Americans who will vote for President Obama, it is the number of Americans who don't pay taxes, and now it is the number of Americans who depend upon government assistance.

But if some guy thinks he heard it mentioned on CNN, it must be true.
