I got really bothered about Romney's income from Bain....Just recently there was an article describing how Romney might have gotten millions from the Guitar Center acquisition.
Bain has absolutely plundered this company's cash through special fees and high interest bonds. It had nothing to do with creating jobs.
Over the years the New York Yankees had a typical response to the players from other teams who played the Brooklyn Bombers tough and gave them headaches.
They acquired them in the off season and added those talents to THEIR roster and became that much more competitive.
If Mitt is the business monster some of you (comically) want to paint him as being, then fine.
Get him working for YOUR interests.
I'd say that's the smart way to look at it.
But is America smart or are we impulsive and irrational?
He wouldn't be working for our interests. He'd be working for his fellow Rich Douchebags.
We already had a presidency where a rich guy opened the country up to be plundered by the wealthy. It was called "The George W. Bush Presidency", in case you missed it.
While I'm sure that Wall Street and Halliburton would be very happy with the policies that Romney would bring, the rest of us would be screwed.
Even that Red State bigots who would say, "Well, at least we got that N****r out of the White House."
Actually, he'd be working for pension funds of working people, and endowments and foundations of universities, hospitals, charities, etc.
