Mitt Romney Confirms What His Critics Assumed All Along

Capitalism is the greatest system ever ..., which is why it woks so well. (Freudian slip)

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln"

Here's my question: where does all the "Christian" play into this stance against the poor? Ever hear of the Sermon on the Mount?

If you would not give 742 billion to illegals and 1 trillion to bombing 8 countries and stop stealing from the social security trust fund and balance the budget, maybe you could create jobs for us working fools and fix our infrastructure and the eletrical grid!

Read six world newspapers a day. The American "yahoo" comments,by far, are the most ignorant and racist. No wonder this country is going down the tubes. Foreign companies have a hard time finding southerners that can read & write at a high school level. That's why Toyota built there last plant in "socialist"Canada. Like many 3rd world countries,it has health care for all. But we spend our resources on invading & killing,country after country. There have been few years in the last 200 we have not waged war. Simple history,empires always go broke

dont complain vote for the best ,the one that going to do somenthinh for america ,

I love how the writer conveniently leaves out the part where Romney said he would address problems with the safety net. He also said he didn't care about the rich because they have enough money. The point of the remarks was to say that his focus was on helping the middle class. Why is that so hard for you liberal retards to understand?

Does anyone proofread these stories? "it woks so well" "so much off of" "bigger problem then" It has become evident that we need to put more money into our public education system.

Billionaires & millionaires are the ones from the president to senators & congressmen who are in charge of the people of the united states. It has gotten worse since ww2. Its going to get a whole lot worse from here on. The wealthy are in charge of us. Like it or not, its a fact. What do we do????????

In the past 10 years, the wealthy became much wealthier and the number of low income or "poor" doubled. In all fairness, if we were to treat the country as a business and all of us were "employees" (and in a sense we are..) team spirit is the only way we are going to pull out of this mess. Again, I stress, that without a healthy middle class, this country is doomed. That would indicate that the wealthy must become less wealthy and the poor reduced by at least half if not more... So what is so hard to understand?

I work with the poor daily and they do not have the work ethic or drive to look for a job and when they show up at interviews no one hires them because they can tell they will not hold a job for long. People are poor for a reason and no matter how much money is thrown at them or at us to try to help them things will not change, remember the war on poverty of the 60's? and Clinton era reforms, they just made the poor obese and gave them diabetes.

That safety net should be an emergency condition. It is instead a perpetual condition in the
inner city. Those dependent should be limited to two kids. They should not be rewarded for
irresponsible behavior as having kids, based on my tax dollars. I know i am black i work
with them. as for immigrants, illegals or otherwise, Welfare should not be the magnate that draws
you here. If you cannot make it here go back where you came form kids and all. That is why we
are now an official: (OFFIAL WELFARE NATION)

Romney's correct. We DO have a safety net in place for the very poor. It's the working poor, the folks just beyond the poverty line that take it in the shorts. Suddenly people make too much to qualify for much of any program. Why if you get a job and start working should your standard of living go down? Aren't we incentivising poverty?

You know I really wish these bloggers would put out the whole statement instead of just part of it

Repost from Suzanne- I guess if there isn't a middle class to pay taxes we won't have to worry about the poor because there will be zero money for programs for them. Someone has to pay and with they payers dwindling and the receivers growing we have a real problem.

I don't worry about the poor or very rich, I need the middle class to get elected. . . . . . . .

Most of the "casualties" of our Darwinian system of which you speak should place most of the blame of their condition upon themselves. Did they "look for the union label" when they purchased an item? Did they even give the slightest concern that their merchandise was made in China or some other nation that couldn't care less about human rights? Did they even care that their vehicle was made in Japan, China, South Korea, Brazil and Mexico? When you see the masses of sheeple mindlessly and selfishly herding into a Wal-Mart, they are sending away American jobs. Americans are very poor about seeing, or maybe even caring about, cause and effect. All we care about is instant gratification at the checkout aisle. This is truly destructive, lemming-like behavior. So many corporations have already moved most of their manufacturing operations overseas, and now our food products are being outsource tested by other domestic companies. This is an even more slippery slope. Do us all a favor: the next time you purchase a box of Raisin Bran or a liter of juice please make sure it made in America. If not, don't buy it. Spend a little more if you must, but buy American. This is critically important as a sovereignty issue, and it will save middle class jobs.

duh! 1975....you do know that was the last year America had a trade surplus. It was also the year Sam Walton was east of Seoul at a factory listening to a "whistle while you work" song....by the way...Jimmy Hoffa disappeared that year too.

You people had better start thinking....!!

Not worthy of comment.

To all the holier than thou people on here you better hope and pray that your business or job doesn't close, a lot of people on here thought that way, thought they were secure and found out the hard way when they lost their jobs, then cars, then their homes.
