In an interview with CNN this morning after his Florida primary win, Mitt Romney made the shocking comment that “I’m not concerned about the very poor.”
It was an apparent attempt to claim that the social safety net — which many members of his party and the conservative movement oppose — means that less attention has to be paid to the concerns of “the very poor” and that instead focus should be on the middle class.
Romney also put the “very poor” in the same class as “the very rich,” indicating he believed their concerns were being taken care of.
