I don’t know, squat. I think it was already quite apparent how Romney view the little people. And while I would not say ALL one percenter believe half of the country are moochers, I do think a huge number of them do look at the poor as they are simply lazy.
We all know it is a whole lot easier to make money when you have money. The problem here is when you have money, you start to think the “ease” at which you make money is the “norm”. So if making money is relatively easy all of your life, then people that can’t make money must just not be trying, which translate to laziness.
Being in the 5 percenter group, we are especially well positioned to be able to see how tight that one-percent bubble is. At the same time, we are still grounded in the real world. This is why the Romney comment is not surprising to me at all. But I suppose this is why for the rest of the country, they are shocked that the one percenters would think this way.
To me, the real news is how people are actually shocked by what they heard.
