Mitt Romney claims the right to starve Americans if it makes money for him

That's the bottom line.

Catfood? You don't even have the right to a tin of cat food, chump.

Romney wants to take us back to the good old days of the pre-FDR 1930s. From The New Republic in 1933:

"There is not a garbage-dump in Chicago which is not diligently haunted by the hungry. Last summer the hot weather when the smell was sickening and the flies were thick, there were a hundred people a day coming to one of the dumps. A widow who used to do housework and laundry, but now had no work at all, fed herself and her fourteen year old son on garbage. Before she picked up the meat, she would always take off her glasses so that she couldn't see the maggots."

Make sure that retirees and all of the other folks he considers to be "takers" know this is our future if, God forbid, President Romney is inaugurated come January.
