How are Romney's Comments on the Poor any better "In Context" ?

[saras]

10. He knows the comment was a lie, and is grateful no one's exposed it yet

His comment is based on a couple of assumptions. One is that there is a class of "poor" that is below the level of, as he says, "the 90-95%", and the other is that these people are the evil monsters conservatives have always made them out to be. He's hoping to get any Americans who haven't completely given in to poverty yet to see themselves as the 'upper' class held down by the 'poor'.

And he knows perfectly well that the numbers don't support this picture at all - it's a crock of lies concocted for the Reagan administration.

He DOES enjoy firing people, and he DOES think there is a class of Americans that deserves to die in the streets. There's nothing SURPRISING in this, any more than there's anything SURPRISING in the fact that Charles Manson doesn't make parole.
