For someone who once took a ten million dollar GOVERNMENT HAND OUT, Mitt Romney sure

seems to be long on blame and short on memory. Did he ever pay that back, or is he just a bigger mooch than all the welfare queens combined?

In fact, did Mitt Romney pay *ANY* income taxes at all?

'refugees' from the Mexican Revolution and their entire stake in this country came from government benefits for refugee families. Think about that. Now, my Grand Pa came here near broke, went to Wisconsin and started farming, no 'refugee benefits' or any of that, not that the Romneys were wrong to take them, I am happy the People provided for them when they were penniless and homeless and without country. But the idea that such a family would speak as Mitt and his wife do of others, a family that so recently needed help from a country they had walked away from a few years before, got that help and then prospered is simply ungrateful and rude and contemptful of the very social safety nets without which his family would have suffered, because apparently the LDS was not enough to support them they needed refugee welfare, and they got it. Then they forgot it.
To have raised Willard, George Romney must have been an asshole and an idiot, but at least he released his taxes.
