8. Summary: 

   The author argues that Romney's recent gaffe, stating 47% of Americans do not pay income tax and are completely dependent on the government, was in fact not a gaffe, instead, it was a revelation about his true feelings. He argues that Romney is blind to the fact that the "47%" still pay taxes in several other forms, like social security and payroll, and that many of these people are so poor that they do not meet the minimum income tax threshold. He emphasizes that Romney is more concerned about removing government benefits from the average persons and extending "incentives" to corporations and wealthy individuals.
