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

No matter what class,middle,upper,lower we all vote. Oops, forgot about the electoral college. Nevermind...

This guy isn't concerned about the middle class or the poor: he's concerned about his own class, and that's all he cares about. He's ultra-wealthy, and he's going to promote and preserve the interests of the ultra-wealthy, period.

So the "very poor" have a safety net? #$%$ does that mean? That it's okay to be poor?This man has no concept of what it means to be poor. It has little to do with lack of money and more to do with how it eats away at your soul. This man is a world-class douche-bag.

I wonder how many poor people he created when BANE raided those companies and fired all those people. Oh, it make sense! He doesn't care about the poor. Well, at least he is consistent.

When he said that he does not care about the Poor, that was just a sudden uncontrollable attack of truthfulness.
But don't worry, GOPlers, they will make sure that that won't happen again. All the rest he said was directed already by his campaign consultants, trying to save him from the image disaster.
In the future you will hear from him only the usual lying and hypocritical GOP brainwashing for rednecks.

Romney has shown his faith in the safety net. He put a lot of people there during his time at Bain.

Mitt romney is the anti christ

Whew! I'm so relieved about Romney's lack of concern for the poor. I was kind of worried since I cannot work, have NO income and my wife makes a whopping $6,000 a year (roughly what Mitt spends on hair care each month). Remind me Mitt, where are all these safety nets? I'm curious since we DO NOT qualify for ANY state, federal or local health care. We also CANNOT afford to see a Dr. to renew our prescriptions or even to purchase ALL the meds we need. I'm supposed to be on insulin for severe diabetes and I'm literally dying of kidney damage from the disease (stage 4 of 5, less than 30% kidney function). I'm so happy you found a way to get universal health care though for the citizens of Mass. Why can't this be accomplished FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTRY? Oh, I forgot, us poor are doing just fine, that's right ;)

This is a great example of the disconnect between the Republicans in office or the current group running compared to the American public and "real" republicans. Real republicans saw Obama as someone they were scared of at first, but now feel comfortable with him after seeing first hand that he is very moderate. Although everyone hoped things would be better at this point, many of them see the obstructionism from the republican party as being as responsible, if not more responsible, for the slow pace of the economic recovery. Most real republicans want the government to work together, instead of playing games with the country's political process. Listening to the talking heads on TV makes you forget that most people are reasonable and will change their opinions when faced with new information.

I volunteer at a homeless shelter and I'll tell you right now, what he calls a safety net is neither a net or safe. Many of these people need to be in a mental health institution or at the very least, some outpatient psychiatric care. Mental health is keeping many of these folks from keeping a job or taking basic care of themselves.

we need to save the working class americans period enough said

Someone had better begin to work for the middle class before it disappears entirely. The rich and the poor do have their safety net; the middle class does not. The middle class is being taxed, exported, and government mandated out of existence

Big clue for Romney, the "very poor" do NOT comprise just 4-5% of our population. They comprise about 30% of our population and their numbers are growing everyday thanks to his party's laws and policies supported by their rigid adherence to "free market" capitalism.

Oh, and that safety net? Shredded a decade ago by mean-spirited, self-centered, narrow-minded Republicans. How's that repealing of Obamacare working out for you, Republicans? How about your calls to do away with Social Security and give all that money to Wall Street? How's that working out for ya, Republicans?

Have any of you actually lived and worked with the "poor?" The people who have child after child to collect checks on them? The third and fourth-generation Welfarites? Those who consistently scam the system but refuse to work because they make more in welfare? I have and you can all stop crying for them. They are doing a lot better than most people who work for a living and wonder how their bills are going to get paid.

Here's the problem: We have a real mess today! The people that created "most" of it. are still in office........ and they are now saying, "we're going to fix it"... I don't think so!!!!! WE NEED "NEW" BLOOD, NOT THE SAME OLD LEFTOVERS.... THEY "ARE" OUR PROBLEM!!!

I know a single grandmother, 51, and not able to work. There are days she crawls because she can't walk, ruptured/herniated discs. She gets $647 a month, and $114 in foodstamps. Her rent is $300, then electricity, $14 life line phone, water. She is also raising a 14 year old grandson. His parents are supposed to pay $25 a week, they are $500 behind now. Why doesn't Romney go explain all those "safety nets" to her, because she has missed them.

When the middle class loses its jobs, house,and healthcare you become the poor! When will people learn.

just once I would love to see one of the politians live within the income of a poor family for a month

yeah..... lower tax for middle class

i don't wanna have portion of my income taxed @ 25 percent
