re: #5 Decatur Deb

I ‘invested’ my FICA tax in Social Security and a good chunk of my base pay into the Civil Service Retirement System. I’ve no doubt many of the 53% count me among the parasitic 47%.

Yes, but they would be wrong. Even Romney’s statement was not intended to include those receiving Social Security Retirement Benefits. So those advancing such a claim would be doing so out of ignorance and stupidity, and would be making a worse DERP than Mitt Romney.
