This is a perfect example of how dems take a remark made by an opponent, and distort it to oblivion and back again. No way was Romney intending to dishonor the life's work of millions of folks who worked their whole lives. Not only did they work and pay taxes their whole lives but they raised families, budgeting their money and were self supporting folks of honor. And they did all that, after the majority of them served their country in WWII, Korea or Viet Nam.

Harry Rex is right on with his criticism of folks on welfare who haven't struck a tap to provide the first thing for themselves or their vast numbers of progeny, getting to vote so they can stay on the gravy train. And Benjamin Franklin was a true visionary and a man of incredible intellect as he said-- "When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." What's treasonous to me, is the fact that any public official or party platform plank is openly supportive of this outrage, even to the point of criticizing the other party for not doing the same thing, as in the case of the democrats, ie Nancy Pelosi. What happened to dignity and self respect?

Part of the makeup of the 47% that don't pay taxes are the low income with deductions, and the retired with deductions also, along with the freeloaders. Maybe Romney should have made that clear in his statement.
