Out of the mouths of babes come the wisest of words.

On Thursday, 9-year-old Brandon was asked why he wanted President Barack Obama to win a second term outside a campaign rally featuring First Lady Michelle Obama in Daytona, Fla. In his reply, Brandon said what everyone else had been thinking

“Because if Mitt Romney win, we’ll be going back to the crop fields,” Brandon said, referring to the days of slavery. “We’ll be picking crops.”

Brandon seems to be referencing what many right wingers consider the good ‘ol days of free black labor, when they could force slaves to pick cotton for free.

In this arrangement, white slaveowners walked away with all the money, and black slaves were left mentally and physically abused.

Will Romney institute chattel slavery if elected? No. But Romney has already expressed his desire to take us all down the road of feudalism, where super rich men like him serve as our Overlords.

Romney is a man who believes that those like himself, who add very little of value to the economy, are actually worth millions, while regular workers are forced to take drastic pay cuts or have their jobs shipped to China. He doesn’t believe in health care, and says emergency rooms are an adequate health care option, and obviously doesn’t believe in paying taxes or he would’ve released his tax returns by now.

So what young Brandon should’ve said is that Romney wants a feudal society, where we all exist or perish at the discretion of the Lords who own all the property and wealth. It’s not slavery, but it’s close enough.
