Ham-handed, principled, offensive, or otherwise, Romney’s words were clearly one thing: true…According to the Tax Policy Center, a partnership of the liberal Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution, 46.4 percent of American filers pay ‘zero or negative’ income tax…Paying no income tax is one thing. Being ‘dependent on government’ is another…According to the Census Bureau, 49 percent of Americans live in a household that receives a government entitlement for ‘health care’ through Medicaid or Medicare, ‘food’ through stamps, disability, Social Security, or a ‘housing’ assistance program…But what about the harder question: Is Mitt right to say that those people are more likely to support Obama? For the most part, yes. Crunching the Tax Policy Center’s figures, you find that 82.8 percent of those who pay no income tax live in households with income under $33,542. And according to Gallup, among those with incomes under $36,000, Obama has a massive, 15-point lead.”
