Problem is that there are far too many people who do feel such a sense of entitlement. |

I actually agreed with Romney with this but I didn't look at his numbers. There is a certain group who is going to vote for OBama no matter what.
Oh and I think that the unemployment is mostly caused by clinton and bush policies which helped people get in a lot of housing debt. Obama hasn't really done to much to help though. |

"Unemployment that was caused by the previous administration..."
Hell.. if Obama gets reelected and inherits the mess he himself caused in the last 4 years, then we are truly going to be screwed huh? |

tedgp: Obama, in his own words, said that the unemployment rate, by now, would be under 5.4% and that he would be held accountable, that he would be a 'one-term proposition' if he didn't accomplish that feat.
Just holding him to his own word. |

Sunny: Government doesn't create jobs that add to the GDP, only private sector jobs from private companies, bring in revenue without spending government money to pay the workers.
If the government hires a worker at $90,000 at year that's overall government expenditure (despite what that worker may pay in income taxes). When private companies hire a worker at $90,000 the government gets revenue via income taxes, about $15,000 on average.
So to pay for that one government worker there has to be 6 private sector workers (earning the same wage) just to break even. The US has 16.42% of it's workers in the public sector that's a ratio of 6.09 to 1. That's barely breaking even, assuming the average public sector employee earns the same as the average private sector employee. |

Wait crackr. You are blaming Obama for unemployment? Unemployment that was caused by the previous administration who destroyed the economy over the course of 8 years and gave you a record deficit, and you expect it to be rectified pretty much overnight?
It's pretty obvious that you are a republican trying to slander the opposing party without even thinking it through. |

papa... yes we do. We see other countries (think northern Europe) taking good care of their people and doing ok financially, and we wonder why we have to go bankrupt for health care if something bad happens. We wonder why our college students have to go deeply in debt and have a very difficult time starting their lives now because of that, when other countries (yeah, even EGYPT) automatically give free college to the top percentile of their students. We wonder why elderly people can't get better care...
No, I don't want some slacker taking up valuable tax money, but I don't want the insurance companies, colleges, and others swilling away at the hog feeding either.
Our money is better used to help each other. You can have yours, I can have mine, but the government needs to spend some on what actually matters instead of their own interests and the military. |

But what if you're unemployed right now?
I think the better choice based on the record is Mitt. |

Aside from the complete idiotic submission here, Romney will have to be the luckiest guy on the planet to become president now. |

Squrlz4Sale I don't think you understand that many of us are tired of weak minded buffoons looking for a handout. I for one don't need to be coddled by Obama's socialist (nearing communist) programs. Health care does need fixed though. |

They forgot to add Free to the last 4 questions. Romney isn't even wrong about this. The people who believe yes to these questions will never change their minds about what ever anyone has to say to them and will vote for whom ever is running that says they will get it. Even if it was Burt and Ernie running and them giving free food stamps, healthcare and free housing.

Nothing wrong with the chart. Just the heading is off. It should read something like, "Will Mitt get your vote." |

The only one on the left I had to say yes to was health care. |
