Would someone tell Mitt that the other 99% do exist, we are really here!

I really think that they are in denial. To them we are like a horrible nightmare they keep having. Only we are still here when they wake up. Just like George "W" Bush was thick as thieves with Big Oil so will Romney with outsourcing and privatization of vital government services.
Last year, the Republican's in Congress wanted to cut the funding for public transportation by A THIRD. They failed last year, but I've heard they will try again next year. I wonder what members of Congress would do if we took away the Lexus's, BMW's and other luxury cars they drive courtesy of the 99%? Let's make them take the buses or walk to work. Maybe we could have them turn in their expensive cars and set up car pools for them. I, like a lot of other former Republicans, are heart broken by this band of thieves that masquerades as Republican's or humans.
When I was seventeen, I was to young to vote for President Ford. He lost the election because he pardoned former President Nixon. Twenty-five years later, historians, scholars and both the Democrat's and Republican's said that it was the best way to help America heal and move ahead. I was a Republican until the end of the Reagan Administration. After that, I was an Independent. I didn't lean toward the Democratic side until a watched the Democratic Primaries in 2004. I only tuned in because I was curious as to why Ronald Reagan, Jr. was speaking. Turns out he was speaking on behalf of funding for research for a cure for Alzheimer's. That night, I heard a charismatic man who had just been elected as the Junior Senator of Illinois. His name was Barack Obama. I told my eldest brother, Kurt, that he would run for and become President in 2008. He blow me off until it happened. Now, I stand beside my co-workers and members of the battered almost non-existent middle class and fight for what we have worked for all of our lives. We have been paying into Social Security and the Medicare Fund since they began. I'll be damned if I'm going to let some rich punks take it away and further line their own pockets. That's why I call Governor Mitt Romney, "good ol' line his pockets Mitt". Look what he did with Bain Capital! If he wins this election, he and his wealthy pals are going to get even richer, like they did when he was Governor.

You are a liberal fool who drinks the liberal koolaide. Try finding work and paying taxes and shutting up.

You have no idea of what you are talking about so IT IS YOU who is just acting like a fool. I DO have a job! With the exception of about 1 year, I have been WORKING STEADILY AND PAYING TAXES since 1976, Your response leads me to believe that you can't compose a decent thought much less an credible argument so let me help you out, that's 36 years! I believe the government should serve ALL of it's citizens and not just cater to the wealthy. If you can't make any kind of reasonable argument and are reduced to just muttering catch phrases, don't respond at all! Go back to your coloring books and toys, and let us know when you can act like an adult and respond like one!
