That 47% of the country that's gonna vote for Romney? I can't teach them responsibility.

I mean, those 47% are gonna vote for Romney no matter what. And when Obama wins, they're going to believe that they are victims, because their state governments had a responsibility to suppress the votes of people they happened to disagree with. They don't believe government should work to help people get health care, food, better housing, you name it. They think that that's an entitlement. Most of these people pay a higher income tax rate than Romney.

And now, income inequality has gotten so bad in this country that 47 percent of Americans pay no income tax--and they are so blinded by their irrational fears that they accept Romney's solution, which is to lower the bar for who has to pay income taxes. Well my job is not to worry about getting votes from those people. I'll never convince them that the wealthy living off investment incomes should take their fair share of the responsibility for their country.

We have to just outvote 'em and out-organize 'em and out-GOTV 'em.
