You forgot those who believe they are entitled to cheap, docile labor and low to non-existent taxes.

WaPo fact check:
Quote:
Some 44 percent of those who do not pay income taxes are in that category because they get tax benefits aimed at the elderly, while another 30 percent benefit from tax credits for children or for the working poor, according to a paper published by the Tax Policy Center.

But not all of these people are automatically Obama supporters. In fact, according to a map published by the Tax Foundation, eight of the top 10 states with the lowest income-tax liability are the heart of Romney country — the Deep South. The only exceptions are Florida, a battleground state, and New Mexico, which leans toward Obama. Meanwhile, most of the states with the lowest levels of nonpayers are Obama states.

As for other entitlements, of course Social Security and Medicare are reserved for the elderly — and are generally popular. But it seems simplistic to think these are all Obama voters, especially since polling indicates that the Republican share of the vote among white seniors has increased in each of the last five elections, to 58 percent in 2008.

Yes, we all saw the video. Instead of just parroting Romney's twords, why don't you answer Noone's question? Who are these people, exactly?

Or is that all you got?

Romney is not a job creator. He is not even a business man. He never ran a business.
Bain was just a leverage firm dedicated to buying companies and selling off under performing ones for profit. You can tell by the way he is running is campaign he was never in charge of an actual business.

Acquire companies through leveraged buyouts - that means on borrowed money - then pile the debt onto the newly obtained business and then charge the company a huge consulting fee to advise them how best to extricate themselves from the mess they were put in.

If it works, all well and good. If it doesn't they sell off the assets of the company and walk away.

...........and Mitt Romney.

You see, to elitist pricks like your boys Mitt, Dick, and Rush taxes, like military service, are for the little people.

That's you and me.

The difference is, you don't see the strings they control us with and I do. You seem to think they're "Great Americans" and "True Patriots" who are fighting for your "Freedom" or whatever. I see them for what they really are.

Wake up.

Dave

Vampires, to put it more succinctly.

A LOT of them have visited places like Cleveland, Kansas City, Detroit, etc., etc.... in the name of "trying to save" local businesses, and it shows.

Boy are you guys wrong, at least in many cases. I have customers and vendors owned by venture capitalists and holding companies.
