"trickle down government hasn't ever worked here" (Romney)... er

The Great Depression? Programs put in place, that helped your own family stabilize, before becoming successful. Ignore US history, we get that your party has chosen to be the party of ignorance per understanding and acknowledging history.

But this goes deeper, because "trickle down government" was in place when his grandparents moved back to the US. Governor Romney, either you believe that your family was more entitled than current families who are in great crisis (that 47% you so discredited by incredulous saying that "they believe they are entitled to... x, y, and food) or you believe that your family could have positioned itself so powerfully without the help you family received at the hands of US taxpayers. Tell us how your family (parents and siblings) would have been able to rise through the once existing meritocracy, with out "trickle down government"?
