Mitt Romney surely has no idea that his 47 percent remarks have launched kids across the nation into a paranoid, maniacal frenzy. Sure, just days ago, before the secret Romney tapes were released, your son or daughter was probably perfectly content having hot meals served to them and their neatly folded clean laundry delivered to their bedrooms. Well, that was then and this is now.
Now frazzled children everywhere have a terror-induced spring in their step for fear they will be the next target on Romney's list. They don't want to be lumped in with that awful 47 percent. Not that! Homework hour is for the weak! Dreams of college are only for pathetic moochers! After all, everyone knows those entitled young scholars don't pay a dime of federal income tax.
It's all about hard work now. Because all Americans have a fair shot if they work hard, right? Right?!!! Let's take a look at some of the effects Mitt's comments are having on children.

Wow, corinnacs, you must be REALLY successful to be paying for the retirements of my ENTIRE GENERATION! And to think you did it ALL on your OWN, apparently without any EDUCATION whatsoever--or at least the part of high school civics and history where most everyone else learned how the social security system actually works: you, and your employer, pay money in (as I have for 43 years now)...when you retire, you get it back. From your age and apparent education level, one would have to assume you make your living as a stripper. Not judging you, the money's good while it lasts, and you didn't create the demand. Just remember, at the end of the day your political acumen is about as genuine as your boobs, lmao.
I just wasted a minute of my life reading this.
Not trying to be rude, but can we all agree not to use kids in politics. I hate it when Obama or Romney or any polician uses kids to get votes or to mudsling their opponent. I'm a Ron Paul fan myself (just cause I think the government needs to back off... and no, I don't like weed) Kids are kinda sacred. If they want to make a movie or support a candidate... then by all means let them get involved. But don't drag them into this. It is just wrong.
Well Richard sorry my misspelling offended you. The fact is I spelled it wrong and everything I said was correct. And by the way your comment to corinnacs about her boobs showed you are a classy guy, so I really care what your opinion is about me.
wamom, your misspelling offended me not at all, I already knew how to spell Libya. The fact that you woluld fantasize that I would accept your wrong-headed assertion that "everything I said was correct" offends me a tad, as everything you said was nonsense. But hey, if it gives you something to do besides reorganize your collection of monster truck rally videos, write for audience passes to Jerry Springer and decide who you will be voting for/against on "Dancing With the Stars," then I am all for it! Variety is the spice of life, after all, and yours could surely do with some seasoning, ;-)))
Somebody needs to learn the difference between clever satire and "sour grapes" sarcasm. Did his remarks hit a little tooooo close to home for you?
only a moron would take the word ENTITLEMENT and twist it like this for an article!!! not funny when you consider what MITTENS calls an entitlement IS ACTUALLY WHAT PEOPLE HAVE PAID INTO FOR ALL OF THEIR WORKING LIVES!!!
Richard thanks for proving my point about the left and that is that you guys are the ones trying to put everyone in little boxes. Like I said your the kind of guy that throws around boob comments, really classy. Please point out what I said that was fantasy. Everything I said was true. The President of Libya says the attacks were planned, that is a fact, look up the video to see the man say it. Valerie Jarrett has 24 hour secret service and that is a fact. Chris Steven's did not have ample security or he wouldn't have been beaten, raped and killed. I will take the words of CIA agents that have seen the pictures over the words of MSNBC or of our President for that matter. I will admit your description of me did make me laugh, not because its true, but because of how far base you are.
