The 47 Percent That Voted for Mitt Romney

Remember when Mitt Romney ran for president in 2012, how he constantly spoke of the mysterious 47 percent of Americans that didn't pay taxes and was dependent upon government?

Then during the actual election we all know that Mitt Romney lost, but what was shocking about his loss was that he received 47 percent of the vote, exactly what he presumed Obama would receive!

So is it fair to say then that everyone who voted for Mitt Romney, is dependent upon government?

And when you think about it, during Romney's presidential campaign when it was time to reveal tax reports -- he never did. Even when Americans pressured him to release them, he simply ignored the requests. Then along the way it was discovered that Romney in fact dodges tax season, obviously because he'd rather not pay. 

Then there's corporate welfare which is a government support or subsidy for private businesses, such as by tax incentives which the GOP absolutely love! 

Tax breaks and tax loopholes is their name of the game. So again, regarding Romney's 47 percent are freeloaders comment; it's obvious that 47 percent don't pay taxes but it's also obvious that 47 percent do receive tax incentives -- in which real American taxpayers haven't a clue of what it feels like to fall under the Bush tax cut bracket. Maybe one day we will?
