but why? how can all the 47% who support Obama no matter what, all be people who think they are victims, who feel entitled to healthcare and food etc, who pay no income taxes, be any different from the 47% who pay no income taxes? the percentage comes out of 100 percent.but Uncensored, there are ONLY 47% that do not pay income taxes when all said and done.... so ALL of the 47% that he disparages are the 47% who pay no taxes....they are one and the same in his eyes and his statement.
thus the criticism of his statement.....
there is no way that ALL of the 47% that pay no income taxes are just Democrats that will never vote for him, are people who take no responsibility for their own lives, are people who believe they are victims, are people who feel they are entitled to health care, and food etc....
that 47% that owe nothing to the irs, include seniors, that are both Republicans and Democrats or neither.... and include some of the the wealthiest among us....and include people that receive absolutely no gvt help or assistance in any manner from the government they just legally owe no taxes based on the laws that are written....they are not all victims....they are not all people who feel they are entitled to gvt health care and food and housing etc.....they are not all people who take no personal responsibility for their own lives....
So YOU and Romney are WRONG on defining those who owe no income taxes on april 15th in that manner and are way wrong to think that the 47% who legally owe no taxes are all Obama supporters and not made up of Romney supporters as well.
You have bevcome dishonest in your debating...in my eyes.
That saddens me.
I'm a numbers person...explain it to me by the numbers, that coincide with his statements on who this 47% are.....
see, in my book.....if Mitt says the 47% are those who feel victimized and entitled and take no responsibility for their lives, and PAY NO income TAXES....then there is no other choice by the numbers to believe that the people he spoke about are the 47% reported by bls or the tax policy center that PAY NO income TAXES.
If there was a chart that showed that 60% pay no income taxes, then his 47% could come out of that 60% leaving 13% that could be others in the "pay no income tax category" that do NOT fit the ones that feel victimized, entitled and have no personal responsibility for their own lives...... but that is not the case....there are only 47% who pay no income taxes so they have to be one and the same of his 47% that he disparaged. Number wise, there is no way to dance around it....please tell me how this is wrong, with numbers.... I honestly am opened to hearing it.
an honest poster in here would understand and accept his explanation.
As I did when the Obama "guns and religion" excerpt was released. He by no means meant ALL of those that are frustrated.....but he most certainly never said "some"....so sure...dishonest people claimed he meant ALL those that are furstrated are religious gun toting racists....but I accepted it as it was explained...that SOME people turn to religion and guns.
