This Letter to the Editor in today's New York Times on Romney's 47% comments is a beaut! Read it and vote! - (Hat tip to Sherri West)
To the Editor:
I woke up early this morning and drove my daughter several miles on a government-built road, all the way to a government-operated school.
I came back to my home — for which I receive a government-sanctioned mortgage-interest deduction — and called my parents, who both receive Social Security and Medicare from the government. Then I signed on to the Internet, which was developed by government-sponsored researchers.
So Mitt Romney is right, on two counts. I am “dependent upon government.” And I’m not voting for him.

My husband and I are 45 years old and have never been on Unemployment and have paid for privately paid insurance our entire lives. Our 4 children are in private school and only one the four grandparents are collecting SS benefits. I pay a boat load of taxes and have never leaned on government or my parents to get my education or a break on my first mortgage. We are INDEPENDENTS. Neither Romney and Obama are for us.
