I am the 53%

[n2doc]

I pay income taxes. And property, sales, gas, and other taxes as well. I am a middle class, white American and....


I hate Romney's Guts! I will NEVER EVER vote for a sociopathic BASTARD like Willard Romney. There is nothing he can ever say to change my mind.

1. You are a good American who knows the truth and cares.

Romney hates you but all of us on DU love you..

[n2doc]

3. I don't mind paying taxes, because a functional government relies on taxes

I do hate having to pay for oil company handouts and a bloated military, but I can only vote and let my opinion be known.

11. A Disgrace that is Representative of the Entire Wealty Elite of this Nation.

The time shall soon come, when the hard working man can no longer feed his family, his children deprived the opportunity to higher education, the social order stagnate, and an era of American Aristocracy takes reign; however, this reign will be short-lived, as history will repeat itself once again:



Bring forward the wicked and cruel, and allow the Guillotine bestow its divine wisdom upon them, for they shall be judged fairly.

2. His math didn't add up. He said 47% are on welfare and for Obama, and the rest

are either republican or independents who can be swayed. Technically, you don't fit into either of his categories.

[n2doc]

4. I'm taking his "47%" to mean those who don't pay net income taxes

That's the percentage I have heard the RW'ers use. Thus according to them everyone who pays income taxes should be amenable to voting for mittens. I'm here to say that is inaccurate.

Obama has a voting support, nationally, of closer to 50% by aggregate of all polls.

8. He's lumping together all Obama voters, everyone on any kind of government aid, anyone

who worked but got their tax money refunded because they don't earn enough, and anyone who for whatever reason doesn't/can't work or pay federal taxes. It was really a big, fat, broad brush to call all these groups freeloaders.

5. i'm in his 53%

the country's 99%, and there is no way in hell that i would ever vote for that fuckwad.

[ncgrits]

6. Me too! White, 52, small business owner

who is paying her taxes and gladly. And I wouldn't vote for Mitt Romney if the hammered down hinges of hell froze over.

[jimlup]

7. As someone now in the 53%

I wonder if he realizes that a large number of us came from that 47%

What a rich silver spoon ass clown Rmoney is.

[n2doc]

9. And if he realizes how much of his base in the South is in that 47%

Not that it will occur to them that he is talking about them, they will only hear it as codespeak for N...... and Mexicans....

[LittlestStar]

12. So am I and that's what pisses me off the most.

We, our friends, our family, almost all of us have household income between 100-250K and we most definitely pay taxes, but we are all voting for Obama. The only tax dodgers I know are Republicans and poor. What a fricking idiot Mitt is.

[porphyrian]

13. . n/t

[rox63]

14. I support Obama, I pay taxes, buy my own groceries, pay my mortgage, etc.

He lumped all Obama supporters into the mythical 47% of voters he thinks are freeloaders.
