The land man ratios are generally skewed to limit the land/man ratios negatively. Space is not the issue, friends grew tons of pot in mines underground, not one inch of sunny land was used.

Could someone please tell me what Romney has done "wrong"? Are some of you fearful he will take away the cushions and protections those "in need" are receiving now...free health care, free food, free housing (or seriously reduced costs of the aforementioned). Assistance programs have been in place since the 1940s. They aren't going anywhere. My son and his family are receiving help. They are looking forward to the day they support themselves. He's taking classes and applying for jobs all over the place. Let's hope he's not an exception to the rule. Let's hope those who need help are trying to help themselves and not sitting around waiting for the postman to deliver the next welfare check.
Let's remember the President doesn't get to pass laws all by him/her self; there is a House of Representatives and a Senate elected to do that. I'd be more concerned about who the Senators and Representatives are....Californians keep sending Boxer and Feinstein to Washington. There's two votes against a Republican right out of the gate. Nothing drastic is going to change no matter who the president is. We see what Obama has accomplished. Four more years of THAT?
Give me a president and Congress that starts by reducing their own salaries and benefits before they scalp those who elected them to be Public Servants. People being elected have forgotten they are supposed to be serving the public, not being served BY them. Their service should be minimally compensated while they are in office, not for life.
Romney gets my vote.

Romney is right- even though he should have explained it better.
The taxpayers have forked over 15 trillion in the name of helping the poor since 1964 and what do we have to show for it? A poverty rate that has barely budged, astronomical bureaucracy and popularity- like that of Greece and Potugal-the Welfare states basket cases- increasingly dependend on government help.. (Obama) I think Romney can change the course of our history. He has a much better understanding of how business works,than Obama does. Romney has my vote..

Absolutely and I hope people hear his message. Otherwise we are going to be in a bunch of trouble. Everybody is saying it from President Bill Clinton, Professor Robert Reich at UC Berkeley, economist all over the country. What the heck is wrong with people's ears. How many of folks on the website are receiving Social Security. They want to cut that too. Get rid of post office and privitize it. People wake the heck up. That's what the picket is all about in Chicago, wanting to privitize schools. Economic analysis say if we get Romney we get the very rich and very poor with very little rights for poor and working class. We see some of it now. 75% of workers in Texax have no health insurance. God help us. I hope people get some real facts before they vote. The are fact checking people on the internet and other places. This partisan stuff really needs to end. I have voted for democrats and republicans. It should be about what is going to help all people in society.

They should budget for it and buy it themselves. People over spend in toys and trinkets then cry because they can not but healthcare. If they are truly poor, they are covered because they are poor. The Government does not owe the people health insurance. We do not live under a socialist government even though that's what Obama wants for the USA. I'd really like to know where you are getting your "facts" from that you keep talking about. You tell people to check the facts but all I ever see is your opinions.

I think he's a bit high on the percentage but in a way, he is correct. Remember the people who voted for Barrack because they believed he would take care of their house mortgages or help them to buy a house? These are the same people still looking for government hand outs, the people who expect the government to provide for them. Barrack told them he would get them the American dream in a sense and they are still waiting for it. Most of his supporters are these people. Still waiting for the dream, the change, the house Obama promised them. Others are the welfare people or the unemployed living on the extended benefits that Obama approved. They worry if Romney gets in, he will shorted the unemployment benefits. I'm not sticking up for Romney but I believe this is what he meant. I've seen it right along, Obama trying to create a socialist nation and that's why his people flock to them. They're waiting for their hero to take from the rich and give it to the poor. So they keep themselves poor just waiting for the windfall.

He however, was referring to those in that percentage who do not even have income tax withheld, as those who will vote to keep the free checks coming.
The House Budget Office is saying the National Debt will rise to 200 Trillion by 2016 if we continue down Obama road.
"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what," Romney is heard saying in the video. "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."
