Protecting the least

To the Editor:

My brother is one of those citizens in Mitt Romney’s 47 percent who doesn’t pay income taxes. He receives Medicare/Medicaid. He’s on the dole.

Did I mention that he has cerebral palsy? He can’t read because he has vision problems. His speech is basically unintelligible. His left hand is shriveled and useless. He walks with a gait, uses a cane, and spends most of his time in a wheelchair.
