I keep hoping that the news machine talking about Romney’s 47% comments will connect these dots for listeners/viewers/readers. The idea that “Obama’s people” are the lazy government-dependent freeloaders isn’t simply dogwhistle racism or a clear hatred for poor people: it’s what a lot of people believe. Romney said what he thought his audience wanted to hear. If more people could connect the dots between those who whose lives are better because of government programs and those who are voting against their own self-interest, I could sleep easier at night.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_maj245jZwB1qcokc4o1_500.jpg)
