In a secretly taped video, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney calls half of America parasitic freeloaders during a private fundraiser last May, emphasis mine:
“There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent 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. That 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.”
Watch:
A majority of that 47 percent Romney is hating on, lives in red states, and, that number is not really even half the story.
