Project Veritas has unmasked the man behind the 47% video that shook the 2012 presidential election. A hidden camera captured Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney explaining to a crows of moneyed donors that 47% of the country will not vote for him because their belief is that government should satisfy their needs. The video went viral, damaging Romney’s White House hopes.
The 47% video was edited to leave out crucial parts of Romney remarks, editing Professor Jacobson picked up on at the time.
And now, the man behind the mask:

Romney was 100% correct with that 47% remark. As Alexis de Toqueville (and/or Alexander Tytler, Arnold Toynbee, or P.J. O’Rourke) once wrote:
But where did Romney get 47%?
The number doesn’t appear in the classical literature. And it makes a difference. That class of voter will always be with us. If it constitutes 5% of the vote, then no big deal. If it constitutes 55%, then the country will survive only as long as it can print money which retains any value at all (i.e., not very long).
