Mitt's comments on the 47% of the population who are moochers that pay no income tax really hit home. At first I thought of my mom who is 90 years old and lives primarily off social security and savings and pays no income tax. Slackart!
And I have a sister with MS that gets social security disability and who pays little or no federal income tax. Deadbeat!
And I have a brother-in-law, a retired colonel from the Army who just reminded me he's in that 47%. Moocher!
I'm not aware that any of them consider themselves "victims," but if the Mittster says so, that's good enough for me.
It is hard for me to not see this as fermenting class warfare, but Republicans hate class warfare so it can't be that.
All this comes from a guy who makes millions, has overseas bank accounts and pays a rate of about 13%. One of the columnists from the Washington Post wrote today that, although Mitt would be a disaster as president, what fun it would be to see this out of touch gaffe-machine elected! The detachment between his brain and his mouth would generate so much interesting news it might be worth it. And after all, he's unemployed, too.
