TB, the statistic I read was that roughly one third of that group are seniors. Many others are the working poor. Others, as you pointed out, probably are those that have learned to "work the system" and intend to gouge it for all they can.

The quote that bothered me the most is that Mitt has decided that this group will never learn to be responsible for themselves. My parent's generation, who never took a dime, who worked their whole lives, who rushed to go to war for their country, they will never be responsible for themselves??

It just might be the most disgusting, dismissive and condescending thing I've ever heard a politician say.
