Fwd: 47 percent context

Unless we can grow the economy and deal with the debt, there may not be enough money left to provide anyone benefits.

Yeah, I'm not sure we'll survive the retirement of the baby boomers either.  I still have visions of enfeebled old people dying in the streets.  I don't see a way out of that.  I'm just pretty sure there will be more old people in the streets under a heartless republican regime than a compassionate socialist democratic regime.  (Sorry John, I know I punched some buttons there that you've called me on before, but that's still how I feel.)

 

I still think that Romney and those that paid $50k per plate do feel some animosity to the poor.  I find them to have the attitude of: I got mine, it's your own fault that you don't have yours.  I've yet to see any indication that that's not what they think.  That's what the occupy wall street protest was all about.
