Mr. Romney's Neighborhood - The Land of Teat Suckers
Image by DonkeyHotey
Mitt Romney visits the BS (Bowles-Simpson) Ranch to lament about the 47% of Americans who are teat suckers looking to suckle on a torrent of public entitlements. Meanwhile the real little piggy teat suckers have names like Verizon, GE, Boeing and PEPCO.
Alan Simpson remarked about Social Security, "We've reached a point now where it's like a milk cow with 310 million tits! Call when you get honest work!"
Mitt Romney echoed Simpson when he said, "...there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it. That that's an entitlement."
Simpson sees America as a nation of teat suckers. I choose to illustrate that with pigs instead of cows.
The real Teat Suckers are the corporations that pay no federal taxes and receive subsidies from the government. They believe they are entitled to be paid by the taxpayers to do business in America. Or worse yet, they want to be paid by the taxpayers to export jobs and hide their income in foreign banks.

Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles co-chaired the failed Bowles-Simpson Commission officially known as the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. The mandate for this commission was to produce a report to outline deficit reduction solutions. The commission failed to produce a report. The co-chairs released a memo that reflects their own opinions, but really should have no value in informing legislation.
Willard Mitt Romney aka Mitt Romney is a former Governor of Massachusetts and is the Republican presidential candidate for 2012.
