In Essence, Mitt Romney Called His Dad A Moocher: Watch Romney's Mom Explain How Mitt's Dad Was Once On Welfare Relief

We all have seen Mitt Romney telling a well heeled audience at a $50,000 a plate dinner that he's not going to waste his time going after 47% of Americans who don't pay taxes and who are "moochers" dependent on government assistance.

What is remarkable is Mitt Romney's dad, George, was once on government welfare after he became a refugee from Mexico.

Here's Mitt Romney's mom, Lenore, telling a TV interviewer back in the 60s how George Romney once depended on government assistance. Listen and hear for yourself how Mitt's dad was on government assistance for years.

This video only makes me admire George Romney all the more, and have more disdain for his spoiled, aristocratic son, Mitt. George knew what it was like to eat nothing more than potatoes for a year in Mexico. His son was born at home plate with a silver spoon in mouth and has just written off 47% of Americans as "moochers".

Keiser Report: Banksters Bilking Billions and Max Interviews Reggie Middleton

In this episode, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss David Cameron appointing former bankers to Treasury. We look at another former banker who became a Treasury Secretary only to become a bankster - Robert Rubin - and his role in Citigroup bilking Abu Dhabi of billions.

In the second part of this Episode (starting at the 13:00 mark), Max interviews Reggie Middleton of the Boom Bust Blog. Reggie is brilliant in his look at the fraudulent way Goldman Sachs arranged the Facebook offering, how Apple is setting itself up for a loss vis a vis the Samsung lawsuit "win", and his feelings about why Central Banks are just covers for the Oligarchs destroying the middle class and what needs to be done in Europe. This is must see TV and fun to watch as Max's hyperkinetic delivery and Reggie's soft, but well thought out speech are great to have juxtaposed:
