An article published by the Huffington Post on September 19,2012, Mitt Romney explains his stance on dependency on government and comments he made at a fundraiser where he states, "47 percent of Americans are "dependent on government" and view themselves as victims."  
He goes on to say he "believes the way to lift people and help people have higher incomes is not to take from some and give to others but to create wealth for all." He then criticizes Obama for believing in redistribution of wealth and looking to it for improving our economy.  He shows a link where Obama says to "spread the wealth around"  is good for everybody, arguing that an economy benefiting all is important to growth.

I was drawn to this article because I feel its one of the biggest problems our government faces today. In a time when unemployment rate is at a consistent high and we are in a debt crisis, its time to start looking at our presidential candidates stances on this issue.
