Mitt's Comments Were Wrong - The Real View Is The 99% Are Moochers.

[TheMastersNemesis]

Think About It. The 1% actually think that anyone who gets a decent paycheck does not deserve is. They want to drive wages down even further than they are. When you hear conservative back chatter that even conservatives hate Romney that he is not conservative or extreme enough you have to wonder what they want. Draw your own conclusions.

1. Yes that is their view...

The reality is that 100% are moochers. The biggest moochers are in fact the 1%. The 1% benefit from taxes way more than the average person. When the 1% get a hand out it is always much bigger than anyone that is in the 47% will get and even bigger than what they will get over their entire lifetime. The 1% will never pay regressive taxes either. Many in the 1% have never paid into SS, yet they will be able to collect, I don't know how that works. They own corporations, but the land those corporations is on is in many cases not taxed. If we went through the entire tax code, which I am not willing to do, I would wager we will find thousands of pages of tax code that benefit the 1% and that code not only doesn't help the 99% it probably hurts us. In any case we all benefit from the investments that the Federal government puts in infrastructure.

2. Using the 47% number allows them to continue to dupe the non-wealthy into supporting them...

...against all evidence that it is not in their better interest. For example, a plumber in a trailer park has an easier time believing that they are in the larger half of America than they are in the 1%.
