The head of Presidential candidate Mitt Romney's campaign has been appointed to lead a major Wall Street lobbying group. What does that signal for regular Americans, for the 99%? Or for the 47% that Romney labelled "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 . . . These are people who pay no income tax. . . . My job is not to worry about those people."
Romney worries about other people, like the financiers he was speaking to. What do they believe they're entitled to? The Congress and its financial regulations--do they protect the 1%, or protect consumers?
