Romney: 'I'm not concerned about the very poor'

[Link]

Who is the Obama plant that has infiltrated Romney's speech writing staff?

Seriously.  This isn't funny anymore.

Mitt Romney, unfortunately, is a walking ad machine for the Democratic Party.

At the end of the day, the bottom 25% of Americans are deadweight.  It's true. The very poor will always have nothing and be leaches to taxpaying Americans.  That's not news

My parents grew up in the bottom 25%.  Now they are 1%ers paying taxes.  You disgust me.

The Republicans all despise the poor, Link, no surprise there.  But I would caution you to be more skeptical of the Horatio Alger myth - individuals cannot better themselves in capitalism, unless there is redistribution to make it possible (as there no doubt was during your parents post-war heyday).

Perhaps.  But my point was my parents were in the bottom 25% and they studied hard in school and never took a penny from the government.  They now help numerous people through their work.  They don't just shuffle papers in an office or do BS Wall St deals.  The assertion that nearly 1 in 4 Americans is worthless and without potential is deplorable.

It's interesting.  I suggest that in order to better utilize limited public resources we should withhold extraordinary and expensive care from severly mentally retarded children that are suffering from terminal diseases and I am savaged.

Meanwhile a Republican can in one stroke declare 1/4 of the US population worthless and that is okay?  Where is the outrage?

I think we all know what he meant to say, but it's what can be spun easily by the media. When Romney says a line like that it galvanizes the left even more, sending more money and volunteers to the Obama campaign.

We don't need Obama to fire up our base. The Republicans are doing an ample job.

Speak for yourself.  He said he is not worried about the very poor.  He said he would would fix the safety net if it was broken.

This guy has been running for president for 7+yrs.  If he hasn't even bothered to check out the deplorable condition of the nonexistent US safety net I'm sorry he is completely out of touch and frankly irresponsible.

if indeed.

There's more than one program that makes up the safety net.  Not all of the programs need fixing.  And those that do have specific areas that need to be fixed.

The sementics are irrelevant.  He is oblivious to the problems with the safety net.
