His 47% statement at the fund raiser dinner party is his point of view. It was not a gaff.

There were also statements to journalists. I can't find the video, it wasn't that popular. He was in the jet talking to reports. He stated, "All I need is more than 50%." He sincerely has a philosophy regarding the poor and middle class. They are disposable for all intents and purposes. When one looks across the spectrum of his statements before the convention and after, it is all the same content. He works with the wealthy to drive job creation while reaping in monies. He isn't about the working class, he is about the elite. Money has value, people don't.
