Romney Says What Most of Us Are Already Thinking

Mitt Romney's gotten a lot of press in the last 24 hours due to a video surfacing wherein he says: 

"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’s an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what."
I've been reading a few discussions on this clip, in which many people, who claim they aren't government free loaders, say it's unfair of Romney to categorize them as such.  Yet many of these people agree with Obamacare, which is greatly subsidized by the government and has numerous increased taxes to pay for.

These same people have said that the rich people SHOULD pay more to help cover the costs.  Ignoring the fact that this is terribly unAmerican, it STILL doesn't solve the problem we have wherein the increased portion paid will not cover the increased spending.

Why aren't Republicans outraged at what Romney said?  Because we've been thinking it for years....
