8. I only see one problem. Tax credit is refers to income, not welfare. The black welfare lie

Is that the working or non-working, or disabled, whatever, didn't pay taxes at all. A tax credit is a reduction in a bill that is being paid; the extremely poor don't pay income taxes, although they pay plenty of other taxes.

And the lie that blacks are universally poor, or never make sufficient income to pay thus never contributed, or never work, is just that, a big fat lie. It's part of the racist mantra, that blacks are lazy, uneducated or morally inferior.

I think a good example of Romney's freeloading was when he took a bailout from the government, as in the Kennedy ad that wasn't used in the Senate election, shown on the MM & V page. Tax credit is the language of those who think they entitled because they make enough under a progressive tax rate to take one. It appeals to conservatives.

This might work on those already opposed to Romney to bring out the vote, but will have no effect on conservatives. They still insist they are like Romney or will be one day. So as much as I enjoy bashing Romney and the rest of the GOP Tea Party sociopaths, I'm sure this won't dissuade them from voting for the royal family there.
