Are you outraged with Mitt Romney’s utter disregard for 47% of the American population?

It sounds like Romney doesn’t think 47% of the American population isn’t taxed enough.

Now let’s talk about the 47% Romney is basically lambasting. Does this include military soldiers since many of them do not fit into the class he is seeking? Indeed the unintended consequence of Romney’s 47% remark reveals economic hardship reality of our troops, young families & seniors.

Particularly when every American I know pays up the wazoo in taxes albeit gasoline, in some cases food, clothing, liquor, tires, tobacco and the list goes on and on.

Let’s take gasonline taxes for instance.  Did you know Americans pay an average of 48.8 cents per gallon in taxes? Almost 50 cents per gallon, folks.

Below is an interactive map that will give you an idea with regard to all the gas taxes going into the revenue system.

It appears Romney is simply out of touch with the ordinary American and the tax burdens we are already overloaded with.

It doesn’t stop with gasoline taxes in which almost every American depends upon in order to get to and from work.  Look at the alcohol tax revenue, Sales Tax Holidays, Tobacco Tax Revenue, State General Taxes on items such as clothing and household needs, and the tax list can go on and on.

Should Mitt Romney discount the 47% of the American population since every American pays taxes in some way or form?

Does Romney’s elitist views include only a certain class of people and shouldn’t every single American who pays into any type of tax department be treated the same?

After all, at its core, the Boston Tea Party was a conflict over taxation. You may have heard the phrase “taxation without representation,” which developed in this era. Unlike their British brethren, the people living in the 13 colonies did not have direct representatives in the British parliament. Because of that, the colonists had no way to vote for how they would be taxed or who would represent them. And because of this lack of representation, the British government was free to tax the colonists in any way — and for any amount — that it saw fit. With no way to fight taxation and no way to claim their rights, many colonists feared that their property could be taken away through debilitating taxes.

Fact is, Romney’s slam against 47% of the American population seems to be pretty damning and it shows his utter disregard for a much needed “unity” message we are all thirsty for.  It is unfortunate that Romney has shown no concern for the approximate “other half” of Americans.  This is highly unfortunate and Mitt Romney owes Americans an apology.

MotherJones released a video of Mitt Romney at a private fundraising event slamming Obama supporters.

Here is what Romney said:

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.Romney went on: “[M]y job is is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”

Wow.

Just wow.

Romney has proved what a heartless silver-spoon fed individual he is.  And he wants to lead Americans and this Country?!

Who needs Mr. Bain Capital at the height of crony capitalism that is destroying our economy?

Dear Mitt Romney,

I am not dependent upon government, nor am I on welfare … yet I am supporting Obama.  I am also an Independent voter, and supporting Obama does not mean one is on welfare or dependent on government.  You have a lot of audacity considering your family became rich suing Mexico after using it as a safe Haven and receiving help from Congress once your family left Mexico in light of the Mexican Revolution.

How dare you insert your tasteless and heartless true colors into your campaign when you would rather increase the war budget while damning the poor.  In addition to the cool Billion$ we give in foreign aid, we see you wanting to spike our defense spending  by $2.1 trillion.  There is something terribly sick and wrong about the money we waste bombing other countries instead of investing more of it at home.
