4. We must emphasize that many who don't 'pay taxes' today, have paid in the past (elderly, disabled)

Or will live to 'pay taxes' in the future (elderly, unemployed, some disabled, etc.) Throwing all of these people away dishonors the past, present and future of this country and the Founding Fathers who intended to redress the inequalities of this nation caused by empire building. Mitt and his friends have used them, and want to discard them. Among those not paying taxes are those retired on military and recieving help. Romney is preaching division, people being better than each other to permit him to destroy the safety net. And that's good for his bottom line, not Americans.
