Maybe the percintile is not that large, but i think you would be suprised how many people take advantage of welfare and he government. Ill try to find the video, but it showed and interviewed people going to pick up their welfare checks and food stamps. Alot of them were perfectally capable of working, and even sayed they could work but why work when they could live off what the government was paying them. Those people are the 47% hes speaking of.
but what grinds my gears was this comment: So, and by the way, when you say to them, "Do you think Barack Obama is a failure?" they overwhelmingly say no. They like him. But when you say, "Are you disappointed that his policies haven't worked?" they say yes.
Of course we're disappointed they didn't work! The house republicans wouldn't let them!
Because they will and did vote for Obama, Romney wants them to work and earn their money and not take from people who worked hard to earn it and they dont want that. Therefore, they'll vote for the side who will give them that money so they can continue not working and living off gov. money that they shouldnt have. Thats Obama.
Somebody embed this. Of course this doesnt apply to everyone on the welfare system, but in one day with this many people in one place doing this proves there are many many more abusing the system.
