Most people- well, some people- are aware that Romney's 47% figure is misleading, and disgustingly insulting when you know what he actually meant by it.
I pay taxes, and I vote. I pay federal income tax, medicare tax, sales tax, other local tax, you name it. I don't make enough not to pay. A long time ago, though, I made so little that I didn't have to pay federal income tax. I sure was living the high life in those minimum wage (or not much more) jobs. Yeah, barely able to afford food, not able to afford going to the doctor. That was living!
I'm not a victim. I don't consider myself one. And neither do most of the people who don't pay income tax. I, for one, don't vote for guys who don't work for a living yet desperately want to lower their own taxes. All the while looking down on people who do work but don't make much, or are retired, or otherwise are decent people but don't pay federal income tax.
