"One of the 47% is my blind, widowed mother, who only "worked" 7 years in her life, " (Krugman)

Noni Mausa
Hennepin County, MN

One of the 47% is my blind, widowed mother, who only "worked" 7 years in her life, from age 15 to 22 before she married. Instead of working and paying taxes like a real American should, she just lounged around raising 5 kids and a grandchild, caring for her mother in law till she died at 92, and her husband through his final days of cancer, and assisting her disabled adult son till her own health made this impossible.

Looks like Romney thinks caring for others is a waste of time. After all, he has people for that. Us.

"You want FOOD? You want a ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD? You want HEALTH CARE? Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!

You Americans will get NONE of these things! You will live on the street and suffer, in rags, sick, hungry and cold, even while you work two minimum wage jobs and your body breaks down from the strain! And you will LIKE it!

You should have been like ME, MITTSY, who was born into wealth and became a vulture capitalist! Screw you if you weren't!!!

And all you legless veterans and old ladies with heart trouble and orphans? Fuck you, too!

Now, watch this dressage event featuring my wife's pet horse....for which we tried to claim a $70,000 tax credit."


America! Fuck Yeah!
