Dear 53%

To the other 53% of America who Romney doesn't believe lives free off the gov't teet, who he believes pay taxes, some do some maybe not (btw I'm one of the 47% who will never vote for Romney and who pays considerable taxes, certainly far more than Mitt's measly 13%):

What Romney was saying to you was that he can basically buy your vote. Romney said the 47% pay no taxes and that tax cuts don't resonate with them. But Romney isn't worried about them because they would never vote for him and his strategy is to appeal to the middle 5-7% with tax cuts. That's exactly what he implied and precisely what he meant. His strategy is to buy votes with tax cuts.

And what a relief that is to me. After all Romney feels the middle class is anyone who makes over $200k. So if that's who he is targeting with buy ing votes for tax cuts, I think he's made a miscalculation on who the middle 5-7% really are.

So, I ask you, the other 53%, can Romneybuy your vote?
