Swinging at everything wildly...shoot first, aim later...showing on a daily bais how selfish, self-centered, it's all about "me", Greed is Good mentality.
NOT what America and the world need.

It's actually why I could never "get into" the Hunger Games - in reality the vast swath of hungry people would simply overrun the rich.
Even if Mitt isn't a decent enough person to think feeding the hungry is the right thing to do, he should have enough self-preservation to do it anyway.

Katniss and her sister would have gone into a home if Katniss had not started hunting if they were unaware that their mother hadn't started working. The situation in her district is not a whole lot different than mining communities have been facing for generations.
In some ways that society is more humane than the one Romney envisions.
