Mitt Romney has been secretly recorded at a campaign fundraising event saying that 47 per cent of Americans are dependent on government and that ‘my job is not to worry about those people’.
Referring to Obama supporters, Romney said: ‘All right, 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, that’s an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax.’
He added that ‘my job is is not to worry about those people — I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives’.
