Mitt Romney’s Betrayal

September 20th, 2012 7:14 am Connie Schultz

Most people who attend catered parties and fundraisers give little thought to the waitstaff that serves them.

The social hierarchy at these events is established at hello. Servers, car valets and coat check clerks wear name tags that seldom include their last names. As a result, guests feel free to call them by their first names, even as these workers address them as “ma’am” or “sir.”

In my 10 years as a columnist, I’ve interviewed hundreds of servers who work for caterers and party centers. Overwhelmingly, they are women, and most are single mothers. Almost to a person, male or female, they describe having to endure, silently and with good humor, customers’ boorish behavior. Their employers make clear that they must put up with this as part of their job.

They learn how to dodge the drunkards’ paws. They apologize profusely in the face of public dress-downs by bullies who get their jollies belittling hourly wage earners because they can. They pretend not to hear the disparaging comments by those who act as if the people who minutes earlier took their drink orders suddenly have no ears.

And so it was that at a May fundraiser at the home of a wealthy private-equity investor in Boca Raton, Fla., Mitt Romney let loose on a population of Americans that includes the human beings who tended to him and his wealthy guests in that room.

From a now-viral video of his speech at that fundraiser:

There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that 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. Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax. So our message of low taxes doesn’t connect. And he’ll be out there talking about tax cuts for the rich. I mean, that’s what they sell every four years. And so my job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.

If you watch the YouTube video, posted by Mother Jones magazine, you’ll notice the server who passes back and forth in front of the camera. You may note the clinking of glasses and cutlery in the background as the hired help does its job.

Much already has been said and written about Romney’s heartless depiction of those Americans who do not pay income taxes. He disparaged a lot of hardworking Americans, including retired senior citizens, members of our military and hourly wage earners.

Perhaps he didn’t betray his “roots”. Wasn’t his Dad born in Mexico? Moreover, when it comes to social roots, he is so loyal to them that he is willing to sacrifice 98% of the American population to make sure his pals increase their share of America’s financial wealth. As for us, who cares, we are part of the 47% that depends on government handouts to exist so, in Romney’s mind there is nothing gained nothing lost when it comes to the American middle class whose votes he depends on to win.

Well Dom , you’re just another example of how good the brainwashers are doing , to bad you can’t think for yourself , maybe your grandkids can’ look after you when you’re old and sick , because the Demo gov. sure as Hell won’t , if they stay in office you might as well take a gun and shoot yourself in the head if you’re over 60 and you get real sick , it will be more humane …

Gov. Romney’s remark fit you to a T. No matter what you and people like you see, the conclusion will never change. The art of listening with an open mind it’s something you’re incapable of having.

kbcab

Oh , I listen and I make up my own mind , not what a lying muslim brainwasher convinces me to believe , so why don’t you take your demo rhetoric and stick your head back up Obama’s ass so you can breath more bulls**t and suffer the conseqences if he stays in office , maybe your children will be real proud of you when they are all living in poverty and this country becomes a third world nation…

Lovefacts

Sigh! President Obama is a CHRISTIAN. He was NEVER a Muslim. His parents divorced when he was a toddler.

When in Indonesia, he attended a public school, NOT a religious school 1967-1971. The Chicago Tribune reported the school was “so progressive that teachers wore miniskirts and all students were encouraged to celebrate Christmas.”

Oh, and I’m an Independent, one of those voters Romney is so desperate to win over. So can the name-calling.

I do have two questions for you. Why are you so angry? Also, why can’t you express yourself without swearing or denigrating the president and people who disagree with you?

I am well over 60, and one of the reasons I am a Democrat and plan to vote for President Obama is because of his commitment to save our social programs and because I believe government has an important role to play in our lives that goes beyond national security. You statement is illogical and the exact opposite to the reality that surrounds us and the record that can be easily discerned by analyzing the deeds of successive Democratic administrations. Our problems are not caused by the fact that we have social programs, but because of our refusal to pay for them, our tendency to go to war and borrow money to pay for our adventurism, our determination to remain the dominant superpower without making the financial sacrifices required to sustain that goal, and fiscal irresponsibility at all levels of society. Electing an elitist who is completely out of touch with mainstream America and whose record and values are the opposite to what we need is not a solution, it is national suicide.

Well Dom , I can call you Dom can’t I , after all this correspondence I feel like we know each other enough for nicknames , if you remember the Dems took over congress in ’06 and that’s when it all went to s**t , no matter how it was before then , which I will admit wasn’t great , but if you are honest with yourself , you have to admit Obama is lying and doesn’t have this country’s best interest in mind , he is a muslim and they lie to convert or kill if they can’t no matter how its done and I don’t want to live in a muslim ruled country and that’s exactly what he is working for , if something isn’t done soon , this country is going down the tubes economicly ( I hope I spelled that right ) …

yes KB –

The time is near, folks… Obama the Sleeper-Muslim Cell, brought from Kenya and raised in America all these long years, planting fake birth certificates and phony school records to prepare his political ascendancy, all to lead to this moment: his potential reelection.. so he can finally unleash the fury of his socialistic nightmare.
Obama held back all these years, his entire first term, even risking losing reelection, because now he is finally, actually getting ready to implement his nefarious agenda. Everything that came before was just paving the way….!!

http://www.facebook.com/dominick.vila.1 Dominick Vila

First of all, the surplus was wiped out within a year of George W. Bush’s Inauguration, 9/11 occurred within a year of him becoming President, we engaged in two wars, used deceit to justify them, threats to garner support, borrowed money to pay for them, hid the liabilities to give the illusion that our deficits were not as bad as they were, declared Saudi Arabia – the homeland of most of the 9/11 terrorists, planners and financiers a Most Favored Nation – and gave irresponsible tax breaks to the wealthy that contributed to the resumption of deficit spending and accumulation of debt/liabilities, long before Nancy Pelosi became Speaker of the House. Blaming those who inherit a mess for it is something that only a Tea Party zealot can do with a straight face.
Should we assume the Rev. Wright issue is long forgotten now that GOP strategists concluded it was more effective to perform a case of instant metamorphosis and transform President Obama into a Muslim? I am an agnostic, and I could care less whether Barack Obama is a protestant (he is), a Catholic, a Muslim or a Budhist; but if he was a Muslim so what? Demonizing a culture or religion, the way we have done with Islam is not a sign of maturity or intellectuality, but a sign of insecurity, religious fanatism and prejudice consistent with what influenced the crusades in the Middle Ages. I think it is amazing that a country that managed to put a man on the Moon, that made so many technological, scientific and social breakthroughs remains so obsessed with divine subjects to the point that they become relevant during an election process. I reckon the Constitution and our purported values only become relevant when doing that benefits some people…

if he were a muslim then why would he go to an evangical church his whole life?
rustacus21

… & that is his hope, that a goodly number of Americans have joined him there (in fantasy land), so he has at least long odds at winning this. He must know that all the opposition is the results of carrying water for policies that don’t work except on paper. Spun enuff, it makes lots of sense, as the nation was ‘suckered’ into believing it (tax cuts) would work in 2001, better than they did in 1981. I remember even thinking myself – b/c of the propaganda, ‘… maybe he’s rite & they ‘WILL’ work… this time…’ Ah, the wonders of propaganda – even on a ‘somewhat’ rational mind…

I would rather get to keep what little I have now (as 47% of my country feels about now) than to get what little I have now sucked out of me by someone that doesn’t care about me, doesn’t know who I am, doesn’t understand me, and couldn’t give a rats ass about anyone but himself and his little buddies. When the working class is gone, the rich may have to start working – oh what a shame AND A BIG MESS that would be. Romney doesn’t know what work is. Romney wasn’t happy alienating groups of people, he decided it was time to just alienate percentages. Hmmm. What a shame he hasn’t got a chance to win the election now. I beleive he is scared to be President and is throwing the election on purpose so he can say – I lost rather than I quit. Another Palin in the making.
Dianes4babies

Wow, you are really a fool! Everything that Dominick said is based completely on FACTS! Something you obviously know nothing about!
howa4x

It is you that has been fed the BS and you lap it up willingly. Lets talk about who gets what . During the Bush presidency, one that republicans fail to mention as he was shunned at the convention, 3 events happened that changed income in America. The 1st was the tax cut which went disproportionally to the upper 1%. During those years while middle class wages and income was flat measured against inflation, while the upper 1% saw their wealth shoot up a whopping 256%. It was the largest transference of wealth from the middle class to the rich in history. This was an unfunded tax cut meaning we borrowed the money from China, and along with the other events, the 2 unfunded wars, and the unfunded drug benefit for seniors, turned the Clinton surplus into the Bush deficit.
Now I know you say that is ok because they are the job creaters, except during this same period 2.9 million middle class jobs weren’t created here but were created in India and China instead.
The Tax cut was never repealed, so since 01 when it was passed till now, 1 trillion dollars/yr is added to the deficit, plus add to that the cost of the wars at over 1 billion/day and you can see the entire Bush presidency was spent on credit cards. The wealthy didn’t invest in jobs and instead they put their money in financial instruments like credit default swaps and derivatives, or sheltered their money overseas. Your canidate Romney is a good example of this trend. He took his 250 million and didn’t create jobs or start a new business, but hid it in Switzerland, the Caymans and started a shell corp in Bermuda. Most people do that to avoid paying taxes
Why not start one in NYC you may wonder, me too. The other thing wealthy companies did was, although they made their fortune here they moved their corporate offices to other countries to avoid US taxes. Cisco moved to Ireland, and Haliburton the company that VP Cheney was CEO of recieved a 6 billion no-bid contract for the Iraq/ Afgan war, then moved their HQ to Dubai to avoid paying taxes on the busines they had here. Now these are just a few of the highlites. There is a 4 story building in the caymans where 1700 corporations have an address to avoid their fair share of taxes.
Now if you are a true government hater you may say good for them, except roads here have to be built, and infastructure has to be repaired and a giant military has to be paid for, so does medicare, medicaid, and social security and on and on. We even give Exxon money to drill for oil, and ADM to make ethanol, and someone or group has to pay for that. If it’s not them than it’s us.
So who is the real fool here? Dominick or you who suck in all the lies from the people who are paid millions to tell them to you..
rustacus21

Exactly CORRECT!!! In both the 1929 & 2008 ‘Republican’ Depressions, the absolute ‘necessity’ of crafting social programs – the likes of which Romney has slandered & would CUT, would NOT have been required, if not for the imbecillic mental disability of conservatives destroying the functional capacity of an entire world economy – & YES – the impact in ’29, as well as ’08 as we now know, was global. W/this sort of incompetence, U get the feeling it’s contagious, as conservatives voters ‘STILL’ don’t get it!!! Even after all that has happened – & Republicans giving them the finger – after stealing their money, rights & access to their OWN Democracy…
howa4x

It’s a shame that the conservatives can’t seperate fact from fiction. They blame Obama for evrything Bush caused. I can’t believe how easily they are led to believe in policies that are completely against the interest of their own families. I think they confuse religion with maintaining te status quo. Jesus was a rable rouser and pushed against the wealthy to work for social justice . Today Christians act like Jesus was a corporate CEO that believed in the vast accumulation of wealth, didn’t care if he ruined the enviornment, or had workers make less than minium wage, work in hazardous conditions, be prevented from unionizing, and denied health care for their family. A greedy and selfish man.
If they deny that, then why do they think its their Christian duty to support a political party that believes in all those principals? You can’t make this stuff up!

It’s not bullshit it’s math. One plan works one plan doesn’t and we have 50 years of history to back it up. Trickle down iS a proven failure! Not once …not twice …but three times it has tanked the economy and downsized the middle class. Please for the good of the country TURN OFF FAUX NEWS AND READ. You are being lied to and quite possibly counted in the 47% moocher class. I know your children or grand children are in the moocher class because Kids don’t pay taxes. Also if you want to look at tax dodgers look at the investor class who’s “capital gains” (you know the stuff the middle class is forced to call income) cap gains are taxed at 15% so the one year that Mitt will show us his tax returns for 2010 he made 21 mill adjusted gross and paid 3 mill in tax. If he had to pay working mans tax rate it would have cost him 7.6 mill…so his moocher class got a 4.6 million dollar tax break (Read HAND OUT WHICH HE COMPLETELY BELIEVES HE IS ENTITLED TO.) BTW 4.6 mill in food stamps would feed Mitt until the year 4867 unless he bought caviar with them then only until 3248. Now that’s a hand out. and he gets that or better everyyear. so your kids and my kids and vets and disabled people and seniors (oh yeah they are in the 47% that he talked about..seniors on social security which they paid all their working life for, now according to Mitt they are moochers for feeling they are “entitled” to collect it) all those who ACTUALLY built the country and all in it they are now mmochers.
kbcab

Joel , Romney made his money and doesn’t owe us a damn thing and if he can create jobs and make something work as good as he has then he will be good for this country , unlike Obama wanting to make it good for counries that hate us , and while we are on taxes , Obama’s tax czar was three years behind on taxes and had no intentions of even paying them at all untill he got the top tax job in the country and all of a sudden he paid them up , if he did at all , Obama hasn’t never made a damn dime of his own , just got it from communism an Gov. grants and other America hating org. , no I’m no moocher and my family has never taken a dime that we didn’t earn , but if Obama stays in we may have to , along with you…

One of my Democratic Cousins who was a Senator was one of the votes for Social Security! FDR was the President who insisted that we have that “welfare” program to take care of our elderly and disabled, so I don’t think we have to worry about which party would take care of our senior citizens. Thank God I don’t have to rely on my kids or grandkids to take care of me in my old age.

Kbcab, you know nothing about medical costs and what it can become. As someone on dialysis. who had some 6 major operations over a 5 year period, along with numerous hospital stays, under any Republican proposed system (what they are promising for the “younger” people) I would have had every penny of my pensions wiped out, along with all assets, along with hundreds of thousands of debt, if the hospitals and doctors would even let me owe them.. I guess your point of view is if you can’t pay for it, go and die somewhere.

You need to learn arithmetic, kbcab..for starters..when, Bill Clinton, was in
office…the rich were paying their tillion dollars in taxes…meaning their fair share on how much they were making…and were able to see the light at the end of the tunnel…and then one of the worst president’s we have ever had…younger man Bush…not his father..said the rich did not have to pay their fair share of taxes..even his father didn’t say that or rule on that. With just the middle class..and the poor paying into the tax system….we don’t have to pay for the salaries of the million americans..that need a job..because most jobs..are paid by the taxpayers monies..and just think the lawyer that represented, dear, Casey Anthony, was paid by the taxpayers monies..and it is still in going on…and even the men that work for the highway department..are being paid by the taxpayers monies…those trillion of dollars that the rich should be paying would have prevented us from digging the well deeper..to where that president caused all of this mess..believe me…remember, even his father had the rich paying their fair of taxes..and like Clinton said he worked with the republicans and they worked together…Bush…the stupid young son of his…was a law unto his self.
so, unless the rich pay their fair share of taxes…trillion of dollars we will not get out of this mess..so, stop blaming either party for this disaster..you don’t know your math..plus the fact…that everytime a republican went into office…we went to war..remember, Richard Nixon, he was horrible…so, again…I want to remind you…the middle class and the poor that make mininum wages don’t make enough to carry the load of getting back on our feet or the jobs to open up or to have the training programs so necessary to train people to get certain jobs…you make me want to advise you…go back to school and learn your arithmetic..all the programs for the poor and the needy didn’t get us in this mess..it was a stupid president that got us into a war..we should have never gotten into..because the taxpayers monies were and are still paying for the salaries for the men in service plus their families health insurance..and then when he stopped the rich from paying their trillion dollars worth of taxes..and we needed that money..not only to help pay those men’s salaries that were fighting over there..it crippled us..and then those programs for the middle class and the poor that were losing their jobs..didn’t have a let to stand on..you are heartless and don’t have any common sense…their is a saying..open mouth and insert foot..and that is just what you did..you have that “foot in mouth disease”..and their is another saying..”stupid does as stupid is”..and you cannot fix stupid…so, again..learn you arithmetic..stupid.

Lair Lair Romney make Bush look like angel. Anyone think that Romney give a sh-t about them is crazy from 47% to 100% when he was calling 47% of america lazy bum and looking for a hand out. He didnt bring up welfare until tape of his mother saying that the family was on welfare for a few years so i guess for those years his father was looking for a hand out. Mr Romney i bet i paid more in taxs out of my pay check every week than a lot of you. I never receive a income tax refund for over 20 years. When i worked over time i had to pay uncle sam so done call me lazy.

kbcab

Opie , one of the big reasons that you don ‘t get a tax refund is that Obama is redistributing it among the illegals and the lazy ass people that have no pride and want to live off the hard earned money that you and I make and if he goes back in it’s gonna get worse..One good thing , maybe , coming from him being re-elected is that we all can loose weight ’cause we just about can’t afford food now for our families and as long as he’s in office , energy will be just about un-affordable too …

And yet when George Romney ran for President (I’m old enough to remember that), I don’t recall anything in the newspapers DEMANDING his birth certificate, or any issue made about his place of birth.

http://www.facebook.com/dominick.vila.1 Dominick Vila

I don’t remember that either, and I don’t remember the “birthers” making an issue out of Sen. McCain being born in Panama either. In adition to a well orchestrated campaign to distort Barack Obama’s policies and accomplishments, there is also a well coordinated effort to demonize, ridicule and insult him at a personal level.

his dad was born in a Mormon compound in Mexico- it had nothing to do with the Latinos. They were a disposed group of Mormons who moved to Mexico because they were disliked.

http://www.facebook.com/dominick.vila.1 Dominick Vila

The Mormom commune where George Romney was born was in Mexico, which means that he was not a natural born citizen, and neither is John McCain. Their eligibility to run for office was not challenged, and that of a man born in Hawaii is.

Gee, it is interesting that you defend Romney, I hope you do the same for President Obama, who was actually born in the United States.

Bob Williams

If you are a member of the tax takers as opposed to the tax payers, then there is nothing Romney could say or do to get your vote, short of “We gunna get you moochers more free shit!”

Romney’s objective is to make it possible for the tax takers to become tax payers, but for some of you, that is an absolutely disgusting thought to even consider.

Grab yourself another 44 ounce malt liqueur and park your ass on the sofa. Springer is about to begin, and “Jersey Shore” isn’t that long a wait.

sn77339

Well Bobby Boy, there are a whole bunch of us who are employed, pay taxes, and who probably make way more than you do, who are still going to vote for Obama, because we can see through Romney and his handlers, and we know that the direction he will take us is no way but down. So take your stereotypes and complain to someone who cares.
schmelltest

You do realize Mr. Williams, that many of Mr. Romney’s remarks, whether in private (caught on tape) or publically stated, are designed to rile up racist sentiments in people such as yourself. It is clear to me that he is successful when I read your comment, “Grab yourself another 44 ounce malt liqueur and park your ass on the sofa”. Undoubtedly a statement crafted to display your personal racist sentiment.
For all of Mr. Romney’s “I want to unite, not divide” rhetoric, it is abundantly clear that he intends otherwise. And you Mr. Williams, are walking, talking evidence of that assumption.

Ok, I re-read the article, I again reviewed the fundraiser video. I don’t feel brainwashed. Quite the opposite, my mind has never been so clear. I still think Romney is a heartless selfish bastard.

If the video was so important that it took 4 months to reveal , then why was 2 minutes edited out if they want everyone to know the truth about Romney..Just more Demo smear..You know , I don’t particularly like Romney all that much , but if I’m gonna get screwed more in the future , then I want someone new doing it , not the same old lying ass-hole that’s been doing it. Maybe at least this time I will get kissed first…

Gov. Romney’s father was a self-taught CEO and someone who appreciated what the government
did for him that gave him the opportunity to achieve in his quest for the American dream. From
everything that I have read about him he was a great man. I am certain that he would not agree
with his son’s remarks about the 47%. He was very successful but I will bet you that he never
forgot his roots. No great person ever does.

And his father probably didn’t hide his money from taxation either.

…and, I think that therein lies a great deal of what drives Mitt. He is just not made of the same stuff that his dad was….and in an attempt to “please” his father and strive to be more like him he fails miserably over and over again….that is enough to drive anyone crazy….and, I believe he has reached that point…one day he will implode….I just hope that he does it privately.

No I want it live on TV, to make sure he can never come back again.

dellmartin

This was the first thought I had when I first watched the video. Obviously Mitt had no compassion or respect for “those people” working at this event because they witnessed first hand the ugly comments he made about themselves: “And so my job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”

I’ve come to doubt Mitt’ mental health! I think we should be concerned. If he were 25 years older than he is his and making the kinds of comments he makes and lying people would be asking for his health records

Excellent Point! How insensitive! At a $50,000, a Plate Dinner, the guy rails against the 47%, all the while he is being served by People he has written off, and said, “forget them.”

This guy has, and will continue to divide the Nation between the Rich, and the less fortunate; or Poor. He represents, Nothing,! that our Founders stood for; nor, the Greatest Generation.
He has lived a sheltered, and privileged life. He does not know what is going on in the Neighborhoods surrounding Main Street.

If Romney is Elected, 47%, of us will be disenfranchised; with few speaking on our behalf in Washington. Further, our Numbers will grow, as the Rich continue to pick the Carcass of the American Eagle Clean! Why would anyone vote for a Party that has abused and stolen so much from the Middle Class and the Poor? Why would anyone vote for a Party that supported Globalization, that saw 20 Million Manufacturing Jobs overseas? Why would anyone, vote for a Party, that made a Pledge to some Political Hack in Washington Lobby Circles – - thus violating the Spirit of Compromise, fashioned by our Founders? That is Treasonous!

Why would anyone vote for a Party that started two Wars; with no way to pay for them? Why would anyone vote for a Party that is licking their Chops, to get into another War with Iran? Why would anyone vote for a Party that gave the Rich the Largest Tax Cut in the History of the Country; and, not get anything for it? Why would anyone vote for a Party that wants to give the Rich, yet another Tax Cut; and put the burden back on what’s left of the Middle Class?
Why would anyone vote for a guy that places his money in off-shore Banks to avoid paying income taxes? Need more reasons NOT to Vote for Romney – - just ask!

KB,

Please know that I am not picking on you. I too, like my Social Security and Medicare. Yet, with the Baby Boomer Retirement Explosion, Rational Decision making (Death Panels), are inevitable, regardless of who is elected. The Country will not be able to pay for Medical Treatments that will prolong life for a rather short period of time. No one, can afford that – - unless, one can, “out-of-pocket, all expenses and costs. Just too many Seniors – - with too many health problems – - who have too little Money! Consider the Financial Condition of the Nation today! There is no Money! And, the Rich Republicans do not want to pay anything related to health care for you, me, and others.

As an example, if Medicare is so good for us Geezer’s; why wouldn’t it be good for everyone? The point is, IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR ALL, THAT WANT IT; AND, DON’T HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE! A Universal Health Care Plan like this would save about $400 Billion Dollars a year. The President wanted this two years ago; but the Rich Republicans blocked it because they just could not bring themselves to take huge profits away from the Large Health Care Insurance Companies! Imagine! A savings of $400 Million! per year.

There are two ways for the Rich to thin the Herd (the Poor): Choke off Medical Care to the poor and unfortunate; or, use Death Panels. So called, “Rational Decisions,” are easy to make when one has no insurance, and no money! “He’s Terminal! Whose Next?” Get my Drift?

With 80 Million Baby Boomers; and millions more already drawing Social Security and using Medicare; it will advantage the Nation to find ways to choke us off, from the support that is needed to sustain one’s life. Seniors are spent; used up; and, serve no useful purpose. They are draining the Coffers, beyond the ability of the Country and it’s People to Support!

There are a couple of other Ominous Problems looming in the future; but, enough for now, unless someone asks.

How short people’s memory are.. Does anyone remember the state of the economy Bill Clinton left to Geo W. Bush?? Bushwhacked that should be as where or how the Republicans wrecked the economy and now try to blame it on Obama is beyond rational thinking. As for the rich getting richer – all things must end, and maybe they’d better study some history before they suggest we eat cake…

http://www.facebook.com/don.larson.923 Don Larson

Alexa,

Unfortunately, people’s memories are short – - too short! Clinton gave the Country FOUR Balanced Budgets, and left Bush a Cash Balance of something close to $300,000,000,000!

Now comes Bush who was the Real Poster Child of Fiscal Irresponsibility! How so? He started two wars with no provision to pay for either. That cost today is somewhere between $2.3 – $3 Trillion Dollars. Then, he gave the Rich the largest tax cut in the Nation’s History; and got nothing for it. Nor, did he find an alternative source of revenue to make up for this despicable transfer of wealth. This little gift, cost the Revenue side of the Nation’s Budget – - literally Billions of Dollars.

It get’s worse – - much, worse! Bush pushed through a very expensive Prescription Drug Bill for Seniors. How this huge expenditure was going to be pay for; was never given much thought.

Then, the appearance of the first of several fraudulent Financial Schemes. Under Bush, $635 Billion was lost due to the so-called, Sub-Prime Loan Scandal. (When Reagan, Clinton, and Bush, loosened Regulations on the Financial Sector; it brought out the Beasts on Wall Street; and, in the Real Estate Industry. We all know how these Loans worked out. Wall Street followed the Sub-Prims, with a couple of other exotic fraudulent Invests: The notorious Credit Default Swaps; and the Grand Daddy of them all: The Derivative!
The Crash which occurred on September 18, 2012; cost Middle America about $10 Trillion Dollars! We are talking about the Moms, Pops, Grands, and Kids, that lived in the Neighborhoods surrounding Main Street. Millions of Jobs were lost; Parents lost their Homes, cars, retirement savings; and, college funds.

The Grand Insult of all, occurred when the Big Banks took huge risks with OUR Money; and lost! Then, Then, the Banksters promptly lined up at the White House (or was it at the Treasury); and, asked for a Bailout. Within 72 hours, the Bush Administration had promised $750 Billion, to an Industry that gambled – - and lost – - Billions and Billions of Dollars! We were told that these Banks were, “Too Big To Fail!” We learned later, that these Predator Capitalists, were too big; and too powerful – - to Indict!

Obama was left one hell of a mess! He is still sorting it out. If Bush’s Financial Infidelity wasn’t enough; the President had to deal with a Congress that was determined to undermine his every effort to jump-start the Economy. The Party of, “NO,” blocked his every attempt to get something done! They also made some silly Pledge to a Washington Hack, not to raise taxes for any reason! In my view, this was Treasonous, because it undermined the very notion of the Spirit of Compromise, which was the very basis for the approval of the United States Constitution! It constituted a refusal to do the People’s Work. Why, in Heavens Name, would the American People return the GOP to the White House, when they caused the Crash; then tried to cover it all up, by scape-goading, the President?

The biggest mystery of this election is that the Republican party choose someone like Mitt Romney instead of Newt or John Huntsman.

Hey, don’t worry according to calculations from the democrats……….. 99% of the people want Obama re-elected so he can REDISTRIBUTE THE WEALTH in this country providing illegal alien criminals the opportunity to have a “fair shake” at the American Dream and join those 99% already needing the social economic lift up.

That would be the Second, “Wrong!” A fair shake for illegal alien criminals? NOT So! The term, “Illegal,” Aliens is really not correct! The flood of Mexicans crossing the Border over the past 30 years; IS A PART OF OUR SHADOW, PUBLIC POLICY! What the Rich want – - the Rich get! First, the Growers wanted the Cheap – Slave, Labor. Then, other Industries wanted some of that Cheap Labor as well. Thus, the Mexicans spread out, and began to take jobs in Slaughter Houses, Fast Foods, Home Building, Lawn Care and Landscapping; hotel/motel servants; Domestic Work; and so many more. Neither Party had the Guts to tackle the so-called, illegal alien problem. So, in the absence of a Law, Past Practice becomes your Law! Admit it? Hell No! Lack of enforcement and neglect, in essence has given us Defacto, Public Policy.

The last incorrect statement is your assertion that 99%, want, and need, some kind of economic lift-up; is clearly not accurate! Where does all of this, “JUNK,” information originate ?

There’s is so much insolence in those comments, I didn’t like much Romney before then, but now I really don’t like him at all. Where in the world he came up with that 47%? Could someone explain it to me as I am part of that 47% . The only thing where Romney is right is that we, the “underclass, the victims, the dependents of government handouts, the educated and non-educated middle class” will never vote for him and his camarades d’armes. It’s obvious he’s an elitist (meaning an elitists for those who have a fat wallet and accounts in the Caiman Islands, Switzerland and other hidden capital heavens)
I am so glad that his true being was exposed and hope more americans will see through out his rhetoric and lies
Elsa

Romney has made it loud and clear, that he does not identify with most Americans. I don’t blame it on his background, his money or his parents. He is a flawed person. There are many Rich, Famous people in the history of this Country who clearly understood and identified with the struggles around them. Good examples include: Presidents Roosevelt and John Kennedy and there are many more. It is a very good thing, if his campaign is lost, the last thing we need is a President who is unconcerned about half of the people who could vote for him. Obama 2012; and let’s try and give him a Congress that will work with him instead of blocking everything he tries to do.
http://www.facebook.com/people/Jim-Myers/100001512942781 Jim Myers

The 47% that Romney refers to are comprised, in large part, by the working poor. As a percentage of gross income, the working poor pay about 6% to 8% of gross income in Social Security, Medicare, etc. It may actually be a higher percentage than that.
IN PERCENTAGE OF GROSS INCOME, THAT IS ROUGHLY HALF OF THE TAX RATE THAT ROMNEY PAYS!!!!!
And he does not have to deal with those taxes, because the vast majority of his income is in dividends, etc.
I WOULD RATHER PAY 14% ON GROSS INCOME OF TEN MILLION DOLLARS THAN PAY 6% TO 8% ON $25,000 OF GROSS INCOME!!!!
SO DON’T CRY OVER THE FACT THAT THOSE WHO ARE FAR LESS FORTUNATE THAN ROMNEY PAY NO “INCOME TAXES.”
ryueire

Whatever comes out of Romney’s mouth doesn’t matter. It is empty, lacking in any depth because he is the ultimate narcissist. Nothing he says is ever wrong or causes him to lose any sleep. At this point, I think he is seriously pathological. He now speaks of how it’s the “100%” that matters to him. Yeah, the 100% is all about him. The ease he about faces on things he has said, the purity of how he goes about saying what he thinks the particular audience wants to hear is amazing. I truly wonder if he even has true emotional connection with anyone, his wife his sons.
In a way, I can see how he is so successful at business. No guilt, remorse, and no morality to bind one ‘s conscience is a great instrument to paving the way to amassing great wealth.

The gap between income, economic mobility & opportunity has never been greater, while simultaneously, the application of Democracy has grown more selective, favoring the very wealthy & corporations, since 1981. Americans losing the opportunity in High School & as required courses at the college level, to be exposed to rudimentary civics instructions, has left Americans simply DUMB about what Democracy is, it’s absolutely & unequivocal Liberal/Progressive roots & it’s bastardization by contemporary conservatives, making it an unmanageable MESS!!! Having to study up on the period in which the originating documents were created, is now left up to the individual American & is a daunting task, but well worth the effort, in order to understand that citizens are the ‘sole authority’ in ‘THIS’ our nations Democracy. It therefore behooves each & every American to do their homework, participate in civic activism, make sure our Public Schools teach our children the utter urgency of existing in a Democracy – or else once lost, life in a dictatorship, a tyranny, or plutocracy, is not a recommended lifestyle, as Russians, Egyptians, Afghani’s or Chinese will attest. & being much harder to reverse – as compared to the struggles to maintain & advance Democracy on citizens terms – is what the Constitution envisioned. President Bill Clinton’s Democratic Convention speech is highly recommended on both theory & practice of Democracy, by a Liberal/Progressive student of the living Democratic model, per our Constitutions authors. Check it out & recommend it to those unsure, fense-sitters, who seem still undecided. Then have them view President Obama’s speech & viewed together, give an idea of the superior benefits of Liberal/Progressives, who believe in ‘BOTH’ the theory & practice of Democracy. There’s no need trying to depend on Mitt Romney to explain any of this, as it makes absolutely no sense to he or any living conservative…

To think Mitt Romney is the best the presidential candidate the GOP can muster is clear, overpowering evidence of a once proud political party in certain decline.

130observer…..this article has absolutely NOTHING to do with your juvenile posts.

This article is about Mitt Romney’s betrayal, not Obama, Mexican laws or anything else.

Quoting the article:

“Much already has been said and written about Romney’s heartless depiction of those Americans who do not pay income taxes. He disparaged a lot of hardworking Americans, including retired senior citizens, members of our military and hourly wage earners.”

Romney’s own words:

here are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that 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. Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax. So our message of low taxes doesn’t connect. And he’ll be out there talking about tax cuts for the rich. I mean, that’s what they sell every four years. And so my job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”

130observer: You have no original thoughts of your own, other than a “bumper sticker” approach to your really well thought out profane, inane postings. You intentionally distract us from thoughtful dialog and discourse.

Quit hiding behind a fake name. What are you afraid of?

Are you a propagandist for Karl Rove? You sound like Limbaugh/Beck and foxnews..make up a lie and say it is the truth.

Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels (like Linmbaugh, beck and Rove believe) said it best:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

or as Adolph Hitler stated:

“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it”

All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that 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. Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax. So our message of low taxes doesn’t connect. And he’ll be out there talking about tax cuts for the rich. I mean, that’s what they sell every four years. And so my job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”
