I agree with Dan's thoughts and linked cartoons. I and others would be considered in that 47%, but we have worked/paid taxes pre-retirement that contributed/supported the system. The welfare class however alternatively purposely uses the system to their financial advantage. They have multiple children that they can't afford, buy houses/goods likewise, and collect numerous governmental welfare sources [that taxpayers fund]. Welfare was originally intended as temporary but has evolved into a permanent situation due to Democrats using same as quid-pro-quo for these indigents' votes at election time. Democrats use their bleeding heart political mechanisms to tug at the heartstrings of voters-taxpayers to JUST PAY YOUR FAIR SHARE, when in fact governments should be reducing their expenses in order to do the work of the taxpayers who fund government and gave them their jobs. It's all a BS political game, and it needs to be ended by the voter-taxpayers now!!!!

PS: As to Romney's style, here's the reason why he would make a great POTUS:
'.....Former business colleagues say that's how Romney has operated his whole career.
As CEO of Bain Capital, Romney paid careful attention to the companies he invested in and often possessed a deep knowledge of the numeric requirements for success. Detail was what made Bain different from other private equity firms in the first place. Instead of just investing money, Bain would delve deep into each company, getting to know the ins and outs of its business almost better than the company itself did.
Bain Capital carefully avoided what company veterans call "imponderables" - enterprises where success hinged on doing something that couldn't really be estimated. A biotechnology firm working on a cancer cure, for example, could offer a high payoff, but it was difficult to assess just how likely it was that the research would ever succeed. Instead, the companies were often old manufacturing enterprises or companies that sell everyday products.Presidents have to solve those types of intractable problems....'
