"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, 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 health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it -- that that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what. ... These are people who pay no income tax. ... [M]y job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."
Is he saying the truth? The answer is...close to a yes.
See here
Look, the number is 46.4%. If he has to round to whole number he should have said 46%. Ok, please don't let a rounding error bother you right now.
I am not tax accountant, I am not so sure what it means by someone who "paid no income tax did pay payroll taxes".
Is there a way to reduce this percentage?
Yes, there are so many who just sit there and collect things from the government... But there are elderly folks. There are those who face bad circumstances... and yikes healthcare is so expensive.
This comment is hurting Romney, he is saying 47% don't care for their lives. People just do not like to be called that way.

being in a FQHC seeing so many ppl on subsidies living a sedentary lifestyle causing so many diseases on top of that taking three four hundred dollar-worth of drugs to sustain that lifestyle... I wonder if something can be invented which can tell whether someone truly needs help or someone not helping themselves.
