    I have a question for those who are insulted by Mitt Romney's statement

     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     unBroken1 told me, 'To be honest, his comments didn't make me proud of him. He was catering to a certain demographic to get donations. That annoys me no matter who does it. But it hasn't changed my vote.' She said she worried she may struggle financially in the future.
    - hhanks, CNN iReport producer

    I hate to post and not be around for comments, but I'm curious about something.
    I have a question?

    I've read many of the reports with people expressing themselves as being insulted by the Republican nominee. They dislike being pigeon holed into a category of the "less then desirable" 47%er.

    As they like to say, they are 100% Americans...NOT a percentage of America.


    This had me thinking...
    How many of these folks last year were apart of the Occupy Wall-Street crowd?
    Those who happily pigeon holed themselves in the 99% and classified those like Romney into the dreaded 1%.

    Why is it okay for those folks to classify the wealthy as the greedy 1%, and yet they get upset when they are classified into the 47%?

    If they want to say how they are now 100% American, and are insulted by being put into a group, isn't that being a bit hypocritical?
