Here's part of the 47%. They got about $4,700,000,000,000 from the gubmint. I guess that makes them the 1% of the rich and the lazy at the same time. Just like kings.



2009 Wall Street Bankers
Wells Fargo & Co. President and CEO John Stumpf
Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit
Morgan Stanley Chairman and CEO John Mack
State Street Corporation Chairman and CEO Ronald Logue
Bank of America Chairman and CEO Ken Lewis
Bank of New York Mellon Chairman and CEO Robert Kelly
JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO James Dimon
Goldman Sachs & Co. CEO and Chairman Lloyd Blankfein

And James Dimon. I wonder what he is up to after running JPMorgan into the ground. Hmm. It escapes me.

Oh yeah! Jamie Dimon is now Mitt Romney's economic advisor. Now those two are some real job creators.

He's talking about your mom and dad. No he is not... This I know.

Your disabled neighbor who worked 30 years. No he is not. Nowhere does he mention anything about changes to The Social Security and Supplemental Security Income disability programs…

Your daughter's teenage mom friend from school. Not friend, but "my teenage daughter"... Again, no he is not... Your mind set tells you "it takes a village” well that is wrong. It takes a family! Not one cent comes from the government. And for those that need help, yes they should get help! and only untill they can make it on their own. But sadly, far too many turn it into a life style and learn to just get by with government help.

Yes, this is an opinion piece, but it also offers a good summary about the taxes paid by that 47% of us who, according to Romney, are entitled free-loader victims.

Well, JBS, I suppose your sig line represents your attitude, and Mitt Romney's attitude toward our fellow man. I'm not sure, however, that the world it reflects could really be called civilization.

Regards,

D-Ray

I believe Romney also has a JD/MBA from Harvard. Least we forget he criticised Obama for spending too much time at Harvard. Three years as opposed to the four years Romney was there. Last time I checked law school is a three year program. Heap on the responsibility of editing the law review I would say Obama has a pretty impressive record.

I can't wait for the debates.

So since corporations are people .....


Mobil Oil,

GE,

I guess welfare to corporations is somehow OK? But the retired or the working poor lower middle class have no say in a R&R administration.

On a side note, word is Jimmy Carters grandson tracked down the video and hooked up Mother Jones. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...draiser-video/

Guess someone will now get the blame for pissing off the Carters....

I'm fairly certain that Obama knows.

Is that all, crayon brain?

Hey! I haven't eaten a crayon in a long time. I kicked that addiction by switching to crack.
