My Rebuttal to Mitt Romney's "I'm-not-concerned-about-the-very-poor" comment

My Rebuttal to Mitt Romney's "I'm-not-concerned-about-the-very-poor" comment:

"This is a time people are worried. They're frightened. They want someone who they have confidence in. And I believe I will be able to instill that confidence in the rich American people. And, by the way, I'm in this race because I care about rich Americans. I'm not concerned about the very rich. They have plenty of safety nets. If any need repair, they'll be able to effectively lobby Congress to fix them."

"I'm not concerned about the very poor; they're doing just fine. I'm concerned about the very heart of the American people, the 1 to 5 percent of rich Americans who right now are struggling with paying more than 15% in income tax, and I'll continue to take that message across the nation. "


Thank you Mr. Romney for making it oh-so-clear where your political leanings lie... Very near your wallet.

We at the Mad-As-Hell Party are focused on all struggling Americans. We could focus on the rich. But that's not our focus. We focus on the very poor because so many fat cat politicians who make $21 million a year don't focus on them enough. Maybe it could be they're too busy making $10,000 bets with each other?

Mr. Romney, I'd like to make a bet with you... I bet you that you will not make it to the White House in 2012. Hmm—how much would you like to bet me, an underemployed, struggling-to-survive American? Ten thousand? Well... let's see what I have in my wallet to bet... two dollars. I look forward to your two dollars very soon, Mr. Romney. It'll go a long way to fix my "safety net".

Sincerely yours, Cindy A. Matthews

@boxingboycow Mitt Romney pays less than 14% in taxes. I pay almost wice that rate. So YES, I do pay a higher tax rate than Mitt Romney, a multi-millionaire.

You can not defend greed and social inequality. It's just not possible. So accept the FACT that millionaires and billionaires are NOT paying their fair share in taxes. Nobody who works full time should be poor, and nobody who earns millions should get "sweetheart deals" from the IRS. Millionaires are UNFAIR. No more excuses!

@zerogullibility I agree. It is unfair that with a supposedly "fair progressive tax rate" system those who make in the millions pay a far less percentage of tax than those who make far less. Touse an analogy to show the disparity, imagine you make 12 apples a year and have to pay four apples tax (25%). Now imagine one who makes 120 apples a year... and they only have to pay 12 apples (10%) tax. You only have 8 apples to live on and the rich have 108 apples. Starving isn't fun.

You don't have to understand politics, just know this one thing: our vote doesn't count.... the rich will pick who they want..... but if all americans pull together we can pick a person that is for the people like Ron Paul !

[cynthianna63]

@sandwich451 Very nicely put! The 99% is the majority--but seldom do we exercise our right as a group to be heard. It's time we wake up and make the fat cat politicians realize that we're mad-as-hell and we're not going to take it anymore! The 99% can become a "super PAC" and vote those who treat us with contempt out of office.

Couldn't have said it better. AMEN!

[cynthianna63]

@cynthianna63 I meant "do undo others" above. The tiny screen is a bit hard to see at times! ;)

[cynthianna63]

@Charlie12241 I think the old saying states it best: "You don't call yourself a 'car' just because you stepped into a garage, so why do you call yourself 'Christian' just because you walked into a church?" Perhaps many politicians have simply forgotten Jesus' words to "love one another" and to "do until others..."? Some need reminding, obviously. This is where a fellow Christian can gently take them aside and point out what Jesus said and then help them repent. :)

Excellent!

Bin Laden is dead.

GM is alive.

Romny changes his views as often as the wind shifts. Gingrich sold his mind to his billionaire sugar daddy.

Obama in 2012! You can bet the farm on THAT!
