Who knew? According to Romney’s fatuous 47% of deadbeats who, in his mind, dont pay taxes… nuns and priests are also deadbeats.
Mitt Romney in his “fund-raising/ dunning” tour, said 47% of US citizens, in his purview, are something like taker-wasters.
Thus, in our country, in addition to hundreds of thousands who are disabled through no fault of their own (definitely part of Romney’s 47% of ‘bad people’), there are massive numbers of others in Romney’s “47% of ‘bad people’ who dont pay enough taxes’ according to him –BUT who are IN FACT ministerial: nuns and priests, friars and brothers, monks and other religious such as USA Buddhist nuns, convening daily in compassionate service to the poor, the vulnerable and the injured, those in need.
–Mr. Romney seems not to know that nuns in particular along with priests are the ones who apparently lazily, worthlessly and laconically run nearly HALF of all hospitals in the the US and at subsistence pay for themselves…
Romney is not only ‘wrong&reckless-Mitt” in his assessment of the 47% he deems ‘less’… his screed about those who purposely have taken sacred vows of poverty and who work to help the vulnerable, and tirelessly so… is beyond impulsively reckless. And dead wrong.
Were Romney truly informed, he would know that were the Feds to remove all those who run the church, convent, monastery and seminary and Catholic university hospitals and who pay lesser to no taxes in the US– to somehow banish them to another nation– the entire US health and hospital systems would fall to ruin in a day, human beings would be carried and routed out of facilities that are THERE to help them… health and hospital facilities run by thousands of those who pay little to no taxes.
There is no way, this segment of Romney’s “47%’ are going to be better off, or those they serve be better off, if Romney is in charge of Federal ‘faith-based’ grants distributions or Federal subsidies for health and hospitals.
Oh, he didnt mean nuns and priests? Oh, he didnt really mean the disabled? Oh, he really didnt mean hard-working, hard scrabble people taking care of elderly or ill at home? Oh he didnt mean ‘good’ people are part of his 47%?
Then please tell me Mr. Romney, how you decide who is ‘good’ and who is ‘not good’ measured by the amount of taxes they pay?
If that is the criteria, how much each citizen pays in taxes, than you yourself Mr. Romney, are part of your own 47% of louts who ‘underpay.’
In the real world, in a REAL presidential leader world, Romney’s ‘fantasy %’ ought be backed by FACTS: Let’s hear it Mr. Romney: name the 47% by groups and by name…
but then you’d have to name all the people you Mr. Romney fantsize are lags on the system… such as military families, the elderly, both groups of which often struggle mightily on pittance military pay for ACTUAL WORK, or Social Security for which the elders PAID INTO for DECADES.
Basta Romney. Truly Basta. Your battleship mouth has truly sunk your rowboat rear end.
