He was right about his 47% comment. When 47% of the country collects a benefit from the government of some fashion, whether food stamps, welfare, or even social security and those same people pay little to no taxes, then his tax plan, which he was discussing, would have no impact on those people. They coul care less about his ideas and policies on that front.
That was what he was discussing. He was asked about how to reach those people that would not be paying taxes and he said, "you can't, you have to forget about them and talk to those that are affected"
Of course the media ran with it to paint him as someone who didn't care about the 47%. They demonized him throughout that campaign, from killing some guys wife who had cancer to Harry Reid saying he knew he did not pay his taxes, which Reid later admitted he lied.
Certainly the media would never point out that Romney donated several millions to charity every year, 13M in one year alone. Nah, just demonize and mock and lie, anything to drag the democrat a cross the finish line.
