Recently, Mitt Romney held a high dollar fundraiser behind closed doors.

We asked Americans what they thought about what he said to his donors.

As one woman shares:

"I don't think anybody's ever looking for a handout. I think that..we all want are chances and opportunities."

Aaaaaand that's how Mitt Romney lost the election.

Gee people think they are entitled to Food, Healthcare and Housing. It's almost like we think we are Americans and living in a first world country.

@Dyinobal So without lifting a finger you are "entitled" to have other people build you a house, supply you with food and medical care and to have them receive nothing for it. Sounds an awful lot like slavery to me. Gary Johnson 2012!

Get a job ya god damn hippies

[ToasterWithWings]

Great. Can you pay more taxes please?

[Ryanvllnva4200]

disgusting. I am a millionaire in the 53% I am voting democrat.

[Statutory Ape]

Good thing I'm in the 53%

Mitt Romney is so out of touch with the real world its not even funny. Some of that 47% percent DO have jobs, receive a paycheck & what they clearly cant squeeze out of paycheck, is supplemented with gov't assistance. Sometimes only $15.

Something a millionaire wouldnt understand. Hey Mittens ! All People for Obama are not "poor" !

[hippysandtrees]

Ok, but what was he trying to convince us? This was edited to make him sound worse. Not trying to stick up for him, just think everyone deserves to know the whole story instead of 47 percent of it.

[andreykmtl]

I think people who disagree with his statement are those who feel they are "entitled" to something for nothing. He said everything right.

[Roy Garcia]

I support Obama, but I don't see how this comment is offensive or surprising. GOP candidates say far worse than this all the time, Mitt has said worse. Why is this making headlines?

[Brandon Penalo]

@fcbettencourt The problem is that he won't repair the economy he will only help out people that are like him meaning rich people like himself...
