During the campaign, I said the “47%” business wasn’t going to hurt Romney much because the old white guys who form the core of the GOP base, and who are disproportionately dependent on government, don’t think of themselves as such, and so don’t think Romney was talking about them. I suspect I was right about that – but “47%” remains the best symbol of what is fundamentally wrong with the GOP’s outlook. It speaks of a party that thinks that some of the country are the shareholders, and some of the country are employees, and that the job of the country’s management is to increase shareholder value, even if it’s at the expense of stakeholders like employees.
