    Bunch of freeloaders if you ask me

    You forgot these people



    Notice how many are on cell phones? This is a line for home heating assistance in Michigan in '09. They can find the money for a cell phone, but not their own heat.

    You are also wrong in most cases. Kids would pay federal income taxes if they had an income. Military does pay federal income taxes when their income reaches 90k (just senior officers are affected). Seniors do pay federal income taxes if they are still earning an income.

    These are also not the people that Romney was talking about, but I wouldnt expect you to admit that. That would be way too non partisan of you and Obama would never agree with that.

    You are right that those people are probably part of the 47% who don't pay income taxes but what percentage of the 47% do you think they are? What percentage are seniors, students, wealthy people who don't work, etc? How do you know the people in that line consider themselves victims?
