Approximately, 47% of the households did not pay federal income tax in 2011. This was in part because the Republicans lowered taxes on the poor to justify huge tax reductions for the extremely wealthy classes during the Bush Era. However, many in the 47% category still pay other types of taxes such as payroll taxes, property taxes, sales taxes, state income taxes, and fees, etc.
The Romney Doctrine promotes the idea that many of these people are unable to change because they feel like they are victims. This includes retirees and elderly, poor that are sick or disabled, mentally incompetent, working poor, under employed and unemployed, students, and farmers who depend on government assistance during part of their lives. Many of these people feel entitled to these government benefits after paying into these systems for most of their lives through income and payroll taxes and fees. And many of them will not vote for a presidential candidate that will dismantle much of the social safety net, or that favors a privatization of these systems.

The president is trying to negotiate a deal with Iran to prevent them from getting nuclear weapons, but the letter from the 47 traitors makes America look weak, putting any deal in jeopardy.

The Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947 is a gas operated, selective fire assault rifle designed from 1945 to 1946 by Soviet tank commander Mikhail Kalashnikov to fill the need for a rifle-caliber automatic infantry weapon within the Soviet military, after experiences against the German StG-44 which deeply influenced Soviet doctrine in the post-war years. It has become the single most prolific weapon ever created, with models in use by military and police, or civilian consumers in nearly every country in the world. Chambered in the intermediate 7.62x39mm R.
The AK-47 is best described as an amalgamation of several previous weapons designs. It has the Trigger, Double locking lugs, and unlocking raceway of the M1 Garand and M1 Carbine, the Safety mechanism of the John Browning designed Remington Model 8, and the layout and gas system of the StG-44.
Versions of the AK-47 include the following:
AK-47 Type 1/2(1948-1951) - Most rifles manufactured with a milled steel receiver.
AK-47 Type 3(1952) - All rifles manufactured with a milled steel receiver.
RPK - Handheld Automatic-Rifle variant with a longer barrel and a bipod.
AKM - Modernized variant with various improvements over the AK-47.
AK-74 series - Series of the AK-type rifle which replaced the AK-47 in 1978. Chambered in 5.45x39mm
AK-101/AK-102/AK-103/AK-104 series - modernizations of the AK-74
AK-107/AK-108 series - incorporates a balanced bolt group, reducing muzzle jump, vibrations, and felt recoil.

The Avtomat Kalashnikova model 1947, or AK-47, is the single most prolific assault rifle ever created, second to none, although the rifles quality is questionable.

A genetically-enhanced clone trained to assassinate targets, the agent's name is derived from the last two digits of his assigned bar-code which is tattooed on the back of his head, reading 640509-040147
The corporation that supply his 'targets' is called the ICA, which is an acronym for International Contract Agency. According to the storyline of the video-games and the film, he is of British descent and can speak French, English and Russian fluently. He is frequently depicted in his usual attire of an Italian black suit, black leather gloves, white striped dress shirt and red tie. 47 is an introverted character who almost always speaks in a calm, formal manner in his natural setting.
Agent 47 is an anti-hero. His profession makes him perform deeds that can be considered immoral by most standards.
While not quite superhuman, 47's physical capabilities are at the peak of human performance. He is resilient enough to shrug off numerous gunshot wounds and continue moving for long periods, and can survive falls from multi-story buildings without apparent injury. 47 is strong enough to shatter concrete, quick enough to dodge bullets at close range, and his stamina is such that he can sprint great distances without tiring. Thanks to his training and genetic augmentation, 47 is proficient with all types of firearms, and has nearly perfect accuracy.

HK-47 - Definition: 'Love' is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope... Love is knowing your target, putting them in your targeting reticule, and together, achieving a singular purpose against statistically long odds.

The ak-47 of "just kidding" used to express the ultimate form of non-seriousness. A variant on jk, used in roughly the same manner, however with more emphasis on the joking aspects.
Nick: Dustyn, I totally banged your mom last night, and it was super stinky.
Dustyn: Dude, not cool.
Nick: jk-47! It wasn't stinky!
