Romney, REALLY OUT OF TOUCH!!!

The other day, Romney was taped saying,  "He (Obama) says we need more fireman, more policeman, more teachers," when speaking about President Obama's efforts to expand government. "Did he not get the message of Wisconsin? The American people did. It's time for us to cut back on government and help the American people."  After criticized by President Obama for these statements, he then said, "That's a very strange accusation. Of course, teachers and firemen and policemen are hired at the local level and also by states," Romney said. "The federal government doesn't pay for teachers, firefighters or policemen. So obviously that's completely absurd."  What is completely absurd is the fact that federal tax dollars have always flowed to state and local government to help pay for teachers, police, and fire.  In fact, when the last stimulus dollars ran out, state and local governments were forced to layoff teachers, police and fire.  Romney should really know better since as a former governor, he was on the receiving end of federal funds used to pay teachers, police, and fire.  According to Romney, teachers, police, fire, and other state and local government employees are apparently part of the Romney world view of the American people or the American middle class.  In the view of Romney world, the only middle class employees must be those working for companies taken over by venture capitalists whose jobs will subsequently be terminates so the venture capitalists can then loot the company, run up debt, and profit from the closure of the taken over company.  According to Romney, when referring to the Obama stimulus plan, "It didn't work the first time. It certainly wouldn't work the second time", but according to most economists including the CBO, that plan saved over a million jobs and kept the recession from turning into a full blown depression.  The only people Romney can relate to is millionaires and billionaires.  If you have an AGI of less than $200,000. you would be crazy to vote for the election of Romney (or any other republican, for that matter).
