My 92-year-old mother...

...(there I go again, Ma, telling the whole world how old you are) doesn't pay income taxes and receives Social Security and Medicare. She does, however, pay sales and property taxes. She and my father also paid income taxes for decades. They lived through the Great Depression, World War II (my father actually saw "action" in the Far East) and raised five kids (and put them all through Catholic schools). She's one of the most self-less people you would ever hope to meet --  a great lady. One of the greatest I've ever met, in fact.

So why does Mitt Romney disparage her as a "taker?"
