You might be the 47% if.....

It's baffling to me that so many in the 47% support Mitt Romney. Then it occurred to me, they may not know they are the 47%. So I thought it would be helpful to compile a list if who's in the 47%. So please help me make a list that can be posted on all our FB pages so we can notify people that Mitt was talking about them.

You might be the 47% if...
you live off social security and or received social security funds before you turned 18.

It is just that they believe they deserve it and no one else does. That is why they are republicans.

I would guess though that some would be.
