In a CNN interview that aired Sunday on CNNs State of the Union, Mitt Romney said hes concerned about the middle class and poor, not the very wealthy.
I know the very wealthy are going to do just fine whoevers elected, he said. The middle class thats the group of people Im most concerned about, they need our help and the poor they need our help with good jobs.

Worst. Candidate. Ever.
I mean, he's being called out for his plan that benefits the rich, and he admits it. Not only that, he admits that the wealthy are not going to suffer under Obama, crushing his own party's class warfare talking point and exposing Republicans as demagogues.

Does Mitt really believe anyone is going to look at his plan and not see the extremely large tax cut for most wealthy snd the tax increases on 95 percent of Americans?

(24,347 posts)Since it can be almost empirically proven that his plan fucks the middle class in the ass and Obama's does not, that was the exact wrong thing to say.

"Strikes me as a comment strategized to enhance the split"
...would be a "strategery," and Romney would be as stupid as he appears these days.
I mean, his comment also draws attention to the middle class, which his plan decimates.
And again, the analysis is out there and the Obama campaign is exploiting it effectively.
This is a desperation comment by Mitt.
