I don't think it's going to work.

REALCLEARPOLITICS.COM reports:
Late on Monday night GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney held a press conference to address comments he made at a fundraiser that were taped by an attendee. The Republican nominee was caught talking about the "47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what."
The media, including MSNBC, are billing the recordings as the "secret Romney tapes."
At tonight's presser, Romney defended himself and said Obama's "approach is attractive to people who are not paying taxes because, frankly, my discussion about lowering taxes isn't as attractive to them and therefore I'm not likely to draw them into my campaign as effectively as those who are in the middle."
"I hope the person who has the video will put out the full material," Romney said when asked about.

I donʻt pay taxes - - - this year. But, I did last year and the year before. For 3 years before that I didnʻt.
Many years ago I became ʻpermanentlyʻ disabled. I could no longer work at anything I was trained or educated for. I had been self employed, so no workers comp, no unemployment no state disability. Just SSD. For life, if I wanted. Had several surgeries, lots of rehab and went back to school while depleting my savings and retirement. Went back to work with a new career - - until an auto accident ruined all my physical gains. By then I was on Social Security - yes, still working (retirement gone). Could no longer work. Living month to month and not quite making it. Went to work for Census Bureau who helped me cope with limitations but it was temporary. Next week I will start a new job.

You cannot keep me down and I will NEVER vote for socialism. I will never vote for a system that makes it harder for me to get back on my feet. Or for one who wants to take money I earn and give to someone who doesnʻt want to work for it. Someone who feels entitled to it. We donʻt all stay the same over a life time. If you find you ever need help, Iʻm there to help as I have been. If not, if you just want a hand out, get out of my way.

Ruining the economy by bribing the non-taxpayers will hurt them, too.
Was he not trying to provide adequate health care to rich and poor alike? Is he doing this?
Is the reasons for so much dislike of Obama, because the U.S. cannot adjust to possibly thinking of the underprivileged? ? True democracy ...is??????
Plenty of people have income but pay no income taxes and a lot get checks for doing absolutely nothing.
Who will pay all the welfare when the fat-ass lazy class is 75% and the productive all leave?
Why do you want to see 10 years of Romey's taxes? You want to steal some of his money?
You fat lazy bastards didn't care to see Obama's BC and that is required by the constitution.
I look forward to the day the productive leave you scum bags to wallow in poverty.
I know I won't pay for you to stuff your gigantic ass with my earnings.
Read the question again and read your comment so you can see how stupid it is.
Jobs are created by capitalists. The same people Democrats hate...unless the capitalists are buddies with Democrats.
what I don't like is the "divine right" attitude some of them have on how they got there
and how it sets them apart as special somehow ... some are good people interested in how they can benefit the society that created the opportunity that enabled them to amass their wealth others just look at it as a place to make as much money as possible and deposit it on some Island somewhere
