21. The question was on the tape.

I initially thought it was Romney asking a hypothetical to lead into his statement.

Further attention revealed the question was asked by an attendee and was along the lines of "given the past three and a half years of being told the government will take care of you what do you (Romney) do in the next few months to convince people they need to step up and take care of themselves?"

The question doesn't help Romney in terms of context. If anything it makes him appear more heartless in his answer.
