Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
In this video, Lenore Romney (Mitt's mother) admits that the family was on welfare when they returned from exile in Mexico. So for a time, they would have been in the very same 47% of "ne'er-do-wells" that her son was criticizing with blanket generalizations in that donor video.
Here's why I believe Mitt Romney to be a total :baconsalt:: no where in the entire video did Mitt differentiate between people who get knocked down by a job loss or a health issue... or being a refugee , (and that's why they temporarily end up not paying taxes) and the people who actually are leaches and parasites - including the 105,000 Americans who make between $210K and $2.2 million, yet do not pay income taxes :eek:. By using Mitt's blanket indictment, his own parents would have been written off as 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 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."
I actually admire Romney's father. I'm aware of him being an important and effective figure at American Motors and I understand that he was a good governor of Michigan. Unlike his son, George really was a self-made man who actually stood for something... and he wasn't a fake. And most importantly, I'm not aware that George was so keen to lump people into the same category if it seemed that weren't of his social or economic class. Cause in this case, by being prejudiced, Mitt has dishonored his own mother and father. I'm not a student of the Bible, but as I recall from my church days, Mitt, you've pretty much taken a dump on the Fifth Commandment, old boy. :nono:
