[quote=Anonymous]How the hell can a person who refuses to release more than two tax returns bitch about how much other people pay in income taxes?
How can a person who made a gajillion dollars in closing down companies, laying people off, and sending jobs to China complain about people getting unemployment?
How can a person whose family used welfare once upon a time criticize those who use it?
How can a person dismiss 47% of Americans as "not taking responsibility for their lives?
How can he lump in old people and the disabled with welfare queens?

My disgust with the Republicans in this election year had thus far been limited to some of the state level absurdities.  But this..... I haven't wanted to think Romney is a bad guy, he's just a regular guy (well a regular millionaire) who is running for office.  No need to demonize the poor guy.  But these comments confirm him in my opionion as so deliberatley ignorant of how most people in America live, how they struggle.  Sure I heard "borrow your college money from your parents" or, "we ate a lot of pasta and tuna" and rolled my eyes along with many other people but this rises to a whole new level.

I think Bernie Sanders articulates my feelings well:  http://www.politicususa.com/bernie-sanders-destroys-mitt-romney-arrogantly-lecturing-47-percent.html [/quote]
