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".
