I get it now! Turn the "Middle Class" into the "Very Poor," and everything is easier!!

Mittens said:

"I'm not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there.

"You can focus on the very poor, that's not my focus," he said.

Ooookey dokey. So the very poor are fine, because of the "safety net?"

Mittens clarified:

[div class = "excerpt"] "We have a very ample safety net and we can talk about whether it needs to be strengthened or whether there are holes in it. But we have food stamps, we have Medicaid, we have housing vouchers, we have programs to help the poor," Romney said. "But the middle-income Americans, they're the folks that are really struggling right now."

So if the middle-income people just join the luxurious lifestyle of the very poor, we'll all have healthcare, housing, and food! Of course, the Republicans would like to abolish all those horrible socialist programs, but meanwhile, they're helping us out by making more middle-income people fall into the ranks of the "very poor."


And here I thought Republicans didn't care!

1. That is for sure the plan.

In countries with a very oppressed poor population, there are no protests or demands because people spend all their time trying to survive. Our princes and barons of power and money know this and they want it to happen here.

2. The safety net, is a cheese grater. Meant to grind your self esteem to shreds.

3. What a brilliant solution!

And I thought the Newt was supposed to be the "Big Idea" guy.

4. It is clear Romney will do NOTHING to improve our democracy. It reminds me of GW

when he had no inclination to protect us from the ultimate "evil doer" when he said this about getting Bin Laden just six months after 9/11.

'I Really Just Don't Spend That Much Time On Him'.



Let's not forget that Republican policy wrecked our country!

5. But what about the so-so poor? What about THEM?
