The only loser

Gov. Romney sure dropped his guard and spoke from the heart (or space where the heart should be) when he wrote off campaigning for the 47% who don't pay income tax. He essentially called them all losers who are incapable of taking "personal responsibility and care for their lives". Though I'm a 53%er who pays lots of income taxes, I know of many folks who pay no income taxes. Funny, the only one of all those folks I consider a loser....is Mitt Romney.
