one thing, if you watched the numbers in the last election, Romney was actually ahead in the poll numbers in most of the polls. BUT what killed him was "not" the 47% remark. It was the "I will get everyone back to work and off the welfare system!" The next day, he dropped 5 points average. That told me all I needed to know at this point. He lost when he said that. I have pride and work everyday. I wish most of America had that attitude. But alas people seem to be raised to gain the system.

I'd be confidant in estimating that the percentage of abusers of welfare or other safety net programs is significantly less than the percentage of people that use it and do want to lift themselves out of poverty. Being able to escape poverty is not as easy as the rich white republicans want to make it sound.
