He's made this same statement over and over again during his campaign. At one point he modified it to say the poor need real help, but he's reverted. 
Note how Romney divides people into classes.  He doesn't talk about a tide that lifts all boats; he doesn't talk about structural barriers. He's going to focus on the middle class.  Someone else can be the President for the poor, I guess.  Whether formerly middle class people who have been unemployed for a few years are included, I'm not sure.
Really, the suggestion that our safety net puts the poor in a less troublesome position than the middle class is absurd and out of touch.  He's placing a blind trust in our social programs that is disconcerting from a conservative or libertarian perspective.
