Romney said: "There are 47% of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47% who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. But that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what. ... These are people who pay no income tax.

Able bodied adults who just don't want to work are moochers.

As for your #7, they should be working while going to school. I've done it TWICE. How dare I suggest that people actually be responsible for their own upkeep!

They should be doing their homework not working for peanuts. We need them to make a lot of money when they graduate, so that they can pay into the social security system, and prevent it from going broke. Education is an investment, not an expense.

Exactly, how dare you suggest people take personal responsibility for themselves and upkeep! Don't you know this nation is the "Entitlement Nation" and everything is suppose to be given to the "victims". Obama expects everyone to redistribute their wealth so the 47% of his voters can live the high life off of YOUR dime..... You are not drinking enough of the kool-aid, you better catch up!! :)
