Where to start? If he meant the 47% to be people who don't pay income tax, well then he is a moron because a large percentage of those are the elderly who vote republican, poor southern white men, veterans.
If he meant 47% of Americans, in general, will vote for Obama because they are victims, but not specifically reffering to the income tax group, that is also patently false. More educated people, professionals, and specifically educated women back Obama. So just eliminate those people and what is the percent that actually fall into his assinine categorization?

8% of Americans pay no income or payroll taxes. Most of that 8% are people who work, but make less than 20,000 a year working at places like McDonalds and DD. There are students and vets in that group, as well.There are freeloading bums out there, but they are a small percent. It is getting fun watching this guy flush it down the drain.

Oh yeah, 162,000 people in the top 10% tax bracket paid no income tax. He might have been one of them a couple years ago.

You and the media are distorting his comments. Hs is not saying that 47% of the people are deadbeats. he is saying that 47% of the population will vote for Obama no matter what. Thats his base. And no matter whay Romney does, these people (including you) BELIEVE that they need govt help, healthcare, housing, etc. Its a fact. 47% or more believe that. thats what Obama has done and thats what Obama supporters vote for. Read his quote again. I stand by that its 100% true.
