What Mitt and Occupy have in common

Paul Krugman:

Do today’s Republicans really believe that 47 percent of Americans are “takers”, living off money confiscated from the “makers”?

No: the evidence suggests that the GOP believes that the fraction of takers/moochers is much higher, in fact at least twice that high…

…In a way, people like Romney agree with Occupy: it’s them against the 99 percent, except that they consider the 1 percent to be the people being exploited.
