Mitt Romney thinks people are not entitled to food
I think Mitt Romney is a terrible human being. I also think people are entitled to food. So does the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 25)*. And, unless I'm mistaken, so do most (all?) major religions, including Christianity. I am, admittedly, not a Christian, but as far as I can tell Jesus says in the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats (Matthew 25 31-46) that you'll go to hell if you don't feed the poor. Which leaves the question: why do any Christians support Romney?
Actually, scratch that.
Why does ANYONE support Romney?
His remarks at a private fundraiser sound like something a one dimensional villain would say. And are, of course, full of lies and misinformation.
But the best part? The absolute best part is when he declares nearly half the country to be leeches:
"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax. "
Romney, you fuckwad, do you not understand anything? We are all dependent on government (unless you've got magical water getting powers, road making powers, a private army, your own personal fire department, were born knowing everything, etc, etc, most of which even apparent Bond villain Mitt Romney can't claim). And government does have a responsibility to care for its citizenry. That's the fucking point of having a government, you putrescent shithead: so we can have civilization. You're damn straight a lot of people think that everyone is entitled to health care, food, housing, etc. And that is why we're voting for Obama and not someone who makes Dark Lords of the Sith look good. But, you know what, asshat, a lot of us do pay income tax. Which reminds me, where the fuck are your tax returns so that you can prove that you pay income tax, shitstain?
*As an aside, dear god does this country fail hard when it comes to that document.
