It's not the 47% percent of people who don't pay taxes do it intentionally, they can't file taxes because they are not eligible.
I have a table of minimum income requirements on the link below.
http://www.irs.gov/publications/p17/...link1000170407
If they make below the listed amounts then they are not eligible to file taxes. That could include high school students working minimum wage jobs and retired seniors who are unemployed . So for Romney to make this broad jump and say anyone who doesn't pay taxes is a selfish freeloader, who will suck on Obama tit no matter what- is making a fool out of himself.
Alot of people right now are taking whatever job they can get, that means alot of over qualified people are working in retail and fast food and most of those jobs that are barely over minimum wage and their yearly accrued wages might barely make them eligible to pay for taxes. He shouldn't be talking down about these people he should be looking for ways to empower these people, not just give up on them and just focus on the "self reliant" part of America.
He pretty much saying "I only believe in half of America- the other half can go fuck themselves, I am done trying to appeal to them"
You know you have a shitty candidate when bible belt voters would rather have someone they acknowledge as a "Muslim" over some billionaire "Mormon" .
(Reuters) - Sheryl Harris, a voluble 52-year-old with a Virginia drawl, voted twice for George W. Bush. Raised Baptist, she is convinced -- despite all evidence to the contrary -- that President Barack Obama, a practicing Christian, is Muslim.http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/...88A05H20120911
So in this year's presidential election, will she support Mitt Romney? Not a chance.
More stupid shit he said at the party:

Now we will wait for someone to claim that the speech was fake and Romney was set up.
