    A note to Mitt

    By Davidrice195  |  Posted September 17, 2012  
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     Davidrice195 says he will vote for Mitt Romney, but says he was wrong to lump everyone who doesn't make enough money to pay taxes into the same group. He says he doesn't pay taxes because he can't find a good paying job. "It's not going to change my vote, but i think it was a mistake on his part because he insulted a lot of people who he needs to vote for him," Rice said. What's your take on Romney's comments? Share your views, and your voice could be part of CNN's political coverage.
    - davidw, CNN iReport producer

    Hey Mitt; yes I am insulted. I support you and you just wrote me off with the 47% who pay no taxes. Maybe you can connect with the 47% you "wrote off" In that group are those who cry every time they use Food Stamps; people who would trade them in in a minute for a real job. In that group are Christians who shudder at the thought of voting for abortion and gay rights; people who fear Islam and Obama's close ties to terrorists and terrorist states. Also in that group are educated Americans who know the difference between Jefferson and Marx and choose Jefferson every time. Never write off a group of people. You have strengths that appeal to the demographic you just wrote off... use it! In the middle of rich supporters you cannot afford to write off a huge group with a careless word.
