Romney has been vigorously denying President Obama's claims that his tax plan would raise taxes on the middle class. Now, he's been caught on video suggesting that low- and middle-income Americans are undertaxed.

David Corn at Mother Jones, has killed Mitt Romney's campaign for president. On the tape, Romney explains that his electoral strategy involves writing off nearly half the country as unmoveable Obama voters. As Romney explains, 47 percent of Americans "believe that they are victims." He laments: "I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives." So what's the upshot? "My job is not to worry about those people," he says. He also notes, describing President Obama's base, "These are people who pay no income tax. Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax." This is...

From the OP Bloomberg link: "Romney is the most opaque presidential nominee since Nixon, and people have been reduced to guessing what his true feelings are. This video provides an answer: He feels that you're a loser."

Of course he does, especially if you're stupid enough to vote for him, and it was neither opaque nor hard to guess.

And now he offers us his wisdom on the Israeli/Palestinian issue.

""I look at the Palestinians not wanting to see peace anyway, for political purposes, committed to the destruction and elimination of Israel, and these thorny issues, and I say there's just no way"

Romney clearly wants America to be like China:
1. Slave wages
2. Long hours
3. Exploitation of the wealth producers.

Gosh, I'd love to bring in more legal immigrants.

Easy to do. Eliminate quotas and 95% of Mexico will legally immigrate to the U.S.

The whole immigration debate isn't about legal vs. illegal. It's about numbers. Some people want more immigration because they have family in Mexico and some people want less because they don't.

The real solution is for the U.S. to annex Mexico and let all the Mexicans decide on whether or not they want to be Americans or independent Mexicans. Those who choose to become Americans do and those who choose to stay Mexicans get to as well. Then you take the ratio of these two groups and divide the land of Mexico by that ratio between new U.S. states and a new Mexican nation composed of people not interested in immigrating to America.

Of course the existing Mexican government will hate this, but fuck them. They fuck over their population. So let the population decide whether or not to stick with their government.
