It's not like I'm unique in realizing that this arbitrary, account-speak demarcation line is bullshit. You make 50 grand at a wage job and have a family to support and you pay taxes, of course.
But not according to this accountant-speak language.
Laughing at Romney for writing off near half the electorate is entertaining, but while you do, you let people like Scarborough commiserate with you while perpetuating the myth that "the "47%" is an actual number of lamentable people.
Today that moron gets on TV and says things like "Mitt's an idiot. You gotta reach out to those poor, government assistance laden people!"
...or something like that, and he gets petite accolades for his "crossing party lines" in seeing Mitt's "strategic stupidity," all the while allowing the elephant in the room to sit comfortably with his feet up on the ottoman.
THERE IS NO 47%! Except in the banal, pedantic halls of an accountant's office.
It's not being "on government assistance" to spend your life working a wage job, paying your payroll taxes and being content. It is not a pitiable crime to never need more than a 1040z.
So resist the urge to feel satisfied that the Scarboroughs of the world seem to agree that Mitt's an idiot, and make the point that they don't get WHY he's an idiot. It's not that he wrote off half the country (you know, the "government reliant" half), but that he is spitting on the working class. Period.
