The 47 percent and the 1 percent


I saw this today in a Yahoo! News story about the "irony" of the recent Presidential vote count:

In hidden camera video clips, which were posted by Mother Jones, Romney was seen telling Florida telling donors that 47 percent of voters will chose Obama "no matter what" because they are people "who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax."

"My job is not to worry about those people," Romney says in the video. "I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."

I guess this is the main thing Willard Mitt Romney will be remembered for. Was this statement completely false, or was it the way he said it that got him into trouble?

Someday soon, when Wall Street's servant President Obama ad-Dajjal succeeds in wrecking all these entitlement programs, please reflect on this statement of Romney's. It is very likely these same words are being spoken by the one percent who would like to "privatize" Social Security so that they can reap a windfall of hundreds of millions of dollars for "managing" that particular "entitlement" for us.

More likely than not, these are people who also pay no income tax ... due in part to the assistance of their servant Obama ad-Dajjal.

By the way, Romney's statement is a succinct summary of the philosophy of Ayn Rand, as she expressed it in her novels such as Atlas Shrugged. This philosophy was implemented on a national (if not global) scale by Rand's disciple Alan Greenspan. Did anyone complain that he was not fit to be Chairman of the Federal Reserve because of such beliefs?

Of course not. He and people like him "took personal responsibility and cared for their lives" (and only their lives), while they FUCKED the rest of us.
