Yes, but to flip that the people (or the 47% according to Romney), are the bad guys to many conservatives. So the hypocrisy works both ways.
Maybe we can agree there is enough hypocrisy in U.S. politics to inundate the entire political spectrum; with a little thought we might also agree that 47% reference is hyperbole.
That 47% includes not only low income but also those who legally shelter/plan their income by obeying the tax code. The latter being a legislative situation.
In my life, I've never met anyone who wishes ill toward the needy.
Are there many who are aggravated by the administration of the govt. welfare program? That question gets an amplified bullhorn resounding YES. Therein lies part of the solution; blaming companies and persons who obey the tax code is only more rhetorical, "let's change the subject and find someone to blame for our poor decisions", diversion from reality. It's an example of promoting envy, blame, and hate divisiveness that many self anointed sages use to maintain power and influence.
