It is a fact. Nearly half of all Americans don't pay any federal income tax. Of course they pay other taxes. They can't avoid sales tax or getting a required license or local property taxes. Many pay Social Security and Medicare and many don't pay those either. But the number of those paying no income tax will fall between 47 and 51%. That is an unfortunate fact.
Now, given that a person is in that number, would they be for or against raising taxes on those who DO PAY income tax? Would they be supportive of more or less government spending on entitlements (whatever those are these days)? Would they be more or less likely to vote for The Great Promiser?
So, why then does this get notice or response or even questioning?
Romney, In MAY, Said The Truth
Then to torture the language to imply that Romney has "written off" those dependent people highlights the problem. Bringing those people into the productive economy through free market opportunity isn't "writing them off" unless you are actively building a society of serfdom.

My guess as to the reason this is receiving so much play in the MSM is they are trying to equate the statements with racism. We all know that the race card is very important in politics and to be able to label Romney a racist would thrill the liberals and their media freinds.
This is a link to the Atlanta Journal. It indicates that one of the fine Jimmy Carter's grandsons helped get the story out there.
The economy is in the tank, the mid east is burning, Barry Soetero does not know what to do, and the libs and their water carriers in the media are desperate to find something bright and shiny to deflect attention from Soetero's flounderings.
