I think the San Francisco Chronicle reported it best (only a few hours ago, no less) when Associated Press writer Connie Cass wrote, “When it comes to portraying the Republican nominee as an uncaring, out-of-touch rich guy, he’s his own worst enemy ...”

I’d give you two guesses as to who exactly this is referring to, but somehow I doubt you’ll need more than one.

The person in question, of course, is Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, whose most recent insert-foot-in-mouth gaffe alleged that approximately 50 percent of Americans believe they are “victims” who feel that (it only gets better), “government has a responsibility to care for them.”

Well, Mitt-old-boy, I’ve got news for you.

You see, I’m one of those I believe you were referring to, one who will vote for President Obama once again, thank you kindly. And no, I don’t feel I’ve been victimized by his policies or actions ... or the government’s while on his watch. And no, I don’t feel our government has a responsibility to care for me. I do, however, pay taxes, work hard for what I’ve got and receive zero in the form of assistance ... of any kind.

Is that the case the country (or even county) over? Of course not. Do people take advantage of the system? Certainly. Are they the majority? I have no idea, but somehow I doubt it.

Where are those tax records again, Mitt?
