WHAT MITTBUBBLE REALLY MEANS BY “VICTIM”
We all know by now that the MITTBUBBLE doesn’t mean what he says. Not in public, anyway. But, in part because of the recently leaked iPhone video of Mr. Romney’s speech to a coven of his highest donors in Florida,* I’ve just realized that when he does mean what he says, he STILL doesn’t say what he means.
So, there he was, the MITTBUBBLE at the lectern—PREACHING. We saw him—kind of—going on and on about his great insight into tactical electoral politics: that 47% of registered voters in the U.S. are “untouchables.” (In the orthodox Hindu religion’s meaning of the word. Not Eliot Ness’ legendary team of Prohibition enforcers.) Those people will never change—not in this lifetime (which, by the way, ends in 46 days). Oh, and, of course, they consider themselves to be “victims.” Of “the system” (I presume). Therefore, they think they’re “entitled” to be supported by the federal government.
That’s pretty much my synopsis, however snarky, of what the MITTBUBBLE said to his big-time, MORMONEY peeps—in private–more or less. And he said it, more or less, more than once. Probably just to be perfectly clear. Or, if you prefer, the MITTBUBBLE needed to hear himself say it again and again, to assure himself that it just might be enough to qualify him as a person who has an actual thought.
I now understand that the MITTBUBBLE is conceptually dyslexic. Let me take a stab at a rough translation of his lingo, what I call, “MITTWIT”:
Mr. Romney meant that THE RICHEST PEOPLE in America—his true constituency—ARE THE REAL VICTIMS of “the system.” They’re the ones who are “entitled” to be supported by the federal government. It should lower their taxes, give their corporations huge tax breaks, etc. After all, they’re the ones who make all the money, aren’t they? They’re the ones who end up paying THE MOST personal income taxes. They’re the one’s handing out new jobs to the “untouchables.” And if you add in the percentage they pay towards their employees’ withholding taxes, well… They’re also the ones paying the MOST money to shore up their employees’ (and everyone else’s) social security benefits!
For all of this altruistic service to their country, indeed, to the health and welfare of the American Economy, what do the richest people in America end up getting? PUNISHED, that’s what! In fact, they’re in mortal danger of getting their taxes raised by a democratic President!
THE HORROR! THE HORROR!
So that’s what MITTBUBBLE really means by “victim.” He means himself.
Oh, and did I forget to mention that 1 out of every 4 children under 6 years old in the USA is living at or below the poverty line? Yes: right here, right now! The MITTBUBBLE has given up on them as well. Ahh, that’s understandable. They won’t be voting for him anyway.

*Another little thing I learned from that iPhone video: Florida still hasn’t formally withdrawn from membership in the federal union. Who knew?
