"Hey, Mitt, why start with the 47 percent? Fully 100 percent of the nation's 500 biggest corporations are dependent on various kinds of corporate welfare -- subsidies, giveaways, bailouts, waivers, and other dazzling preferences -- while many pay no tax at all on very substantial profits (see their familiar names - General Electric, Pepco, Verizon etc. - at https://www.ctj.org/pdf/notax2012.pdf )."

From the same link:

"Now, either ignorance, callousness or both infected Mitt Romney's pejorative characterizations of the "government dependent" 47 percent with victim mentalities who believe that they are entitled to the government providing them the necessities of life without paying income tax. Let's see who these people are in these recessionary times. Unemployed Americans. Americans who are too poor to pay income taxes. Elderly Americans who live on their social security checks from money for which they spent their decades of working years paying. Americans using the "earned income tax credit," so vigorously supported and extended by President Ronald Reagan. And disabled Americans who have no dollars for any income tax."
