Romney's 47% Lie
To Get To Romney's 47% Guess-timate Of U.S. "Moochers" You Have To Include:
- Everyone receiving Social Security (which they paid for when working).
- Everyone receiving a military pension (which they earned).
- Everyone that received a small business loan (which they're paying back).
- Everyone receiving a federal guaranteed student loan (which they must pay back, or have their wages garnered).
- Everyone that received a tax break for energy conservation improvements to their home,
- Everyone that received a government guaranteed mortgage (which most are paying back to VA, FHA, etc.),
- Every farmer/rancher that receives farm subsidies (mostly large agri-corps, so should be scaled back to benefit ONLY small farmers),
Who He's NOT Including:
- Oil companies that receive BILLIONS of U.S. tax breaks (which they've said they DON'T need),
- Large mining, lumber, and agri-corps that receive use of public land for a pittance of the true lease value,
- U.S. corps that manufacture goods in other countries with much cheaper labor, but import their goods to the U.S. at next to NO import tax, because they're "U.S. companies",
- Foreign companies that import to the U.S. at lower import fees because of trade agreements,
- Foreign nations, even "enemy" nations, given tax-free "sovereign embassy" properties in U.S.,
- Catholic and Mormon churches, that both hold vast profit-making, business properties, paying NO taxes on those business ventures, because they are religious institutions,
- And, certainly NOT least, Congress, who is nothing but a rich man's welfare club.
