    “All right, there are 47% who are with him (Obama), who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to healthcare, to food, to housing, to you-name-it.”

    He added: “These are people who pay no income tax.”

    Mitt Romney confirms authenticity of video where he calls 47% of voters government-dependent, the latest in a gaffe-strewn Presidential campaign. He said only that the case was not “elegantly stated” and that he had “spoken off the cuff”.
