The GOP presidential candidate posted a quick response to this troubling DNC video asserting that “the government is the only thing we all belong to”:
Reaction throughout Twitter to the creepy verbiage was swift and shuddering:

The government is the only thing we all belong to… but it dare not ask us for ID before we vote.

We all belong to government per the DNC? And here I thought what Republicans said were code words for bringing back slavery. Or something.

One drooling Julia(n) didn’t agree with Romney and just couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about:
“@MittRomney: We don't belong to government, the government belongs to us.” It's not about ownership. It's about being a collective society
— Orb-metal (@RobbDobbs) September 4, 2012
If he’s looking for a collective society, we’d be happy to recommend some for him. Meanwhile, we’ll stick with a society made up of individuals free to take ownership of themselves, thanks.
