What Romney said wasn't a total surprise to me.  I assumed he thought like that, the same with most conservatives.  I have been seeing a lot of comments on this issue from conservatives saying they agree with what Romney said.  They think that those people, that Romney refers to as the 47%, are leaching off the government instead of trying to better their lives by themselves.  They think the poor liberals don't want to work hard, they just want everything to be handed to them.

Conservative perspective: I work hard to receive the money I have.  It is then taken away from me and given to someone who is lazy and chooses not to work.  The person receiving the financial support has no reason to go get a job now and be a productive member of society because that person gets paid to do nothing.  Those individuals who are unemployed and poor should work harder to find jobs and make their own money, not leech that money from the people being productive.
