Sidenote: It is becoming more and more apparent that Mitt Romney is attempting another run for the presidency in 2016. For those keeping count, 2016 would be his third run.
Remember the 47%? They are the ones who sank Romney battleship in the 2012 presidential election. Realizing his mistake, Romney is now trying to change his tone just in case 2016 is a go.
“I, for instance, as you know, part company with many of the conservatives in my party on the issue of the minimum wage. I think we ought to raise it,” he said. “Because frankly, our party is all about more jobs and better pay.”
The 47 percent were called moochers by Mitt Romney. According to the man who was the Republican’s choice for president in 2012, these 47% or moochers are those “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.”
Mitt Romney is also the man who bought businesses, fired the employees of those business, burden those businesses with debt and then liquidate those businesses, walking away with huge profits. It’s called being a venture capitalist and Mitt Romney the god of the vultures!
Sounds kind of crazy and disingenuious listening to him now talk about giving members of 47% a raise!
