Mitt says 47% are "Moochers", it's actually 100%. And I am proud I am one of them. Are you? [View all]

Here's some "Moochers" for you Mittens...

Any Veterans who use the VA or GI Bill
Any Retired Military who have a pension
Any kid going to college that has a Federal Government Subsidized Student Loan
Anyone who has visited a National Park Including Mt. Rushmore, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Gettysburg, etc.
Anyone who has used any Interstate in the US
Anyone who has used Amtrak
Anyone who has watched PBS or listened to NPR
Anyone mother who has used WIC (like my wife did)
Anyone who has taken a prescription drug can trust it isn't arsenic or some other non-regulated garbage
Anyone who has eaten FDA approved meats
Anyone who has flown and not died in a midair collision or ground collision due to FAA and Air traffic control
Anyone who has flown and the wings haven't fallen off due to FAA inspectors
Anyone who has enjoyed the security of living in the US because of our military
Anyone who has needed to use welfare to help them in tough times
Anyone who has needed to use Cobra during tough times
Anyone who has needed to use disability during tough times
Anyone who has appreciated the awesome weather reports, especially severe reports for tornadoes and hurricanes, from NOAA
Anyone who listens to the radio and doesn't have to hear static on each channel because the FCC regulates the frequencies...same for TV and Cable.
Anyone who has paid into the Federal Social Security program or Medicare/Medicaid.
Anyone who has ever used the US Postal Service.
Anyone who has ever had a water-borne emergency and has needed the US Coast Guard.

I could go on and on and on...but the Federal Government is here to help us and protect us. If that is called "Mooching" then I am a "moocher." Fuck you Mitt.
