      Hello John,               LL>> How did Mitt Romney get so fabulously wealthy?               BK>> He got rich by screwing working people.               JM>> How did he screw working people?               LL>> Mitt Romney claims to be a businessman.        LL>> A business is in business to make a profit.        LL>> In order to maximize profits, a business        LL>> must shed its dead weight. And that means        LL>> firing people (employees).              JM>Employers should fire "dead weight" or unproductive employes              And replaced by more competent employees.               LL>> Outsourcing jobs        LL>> to where cheap labor can be found, such as        LL>> in Veitnam, Mongolia, etc.              JM>Why would a manufacturer pay 10 times the cost for an American       JM>wigdet when they can get it cheaper?              If Americans have no jobs and are unable to buy anything       it won't really matter where a product is made, or what the       cost of that product might be.               LL>> As governor of Massachusetts, he screwed        LL>> working people in other ways. Such as state        LL>> employees. Rather than have the state run        LL>> the prisons and everything else, Romney chose        LL>> to privatize as much as he could, thus giving        LL>> pink slips to many folks in those areas.              JM>Those people could not work for the private contractor?              They cannot afford to. But are often forced to do so,       given the lack of job opportunities elsewhere.               LL>> Private companies maximize their profits by        LL>> paying low wages, cutting the number of        LL>> employees, lower quality, fewer regulations,        LL>> etc.              JM>To bad you believe the BS you have been told.              It is not a matter of belief, as our boy governor is following the       very same script as his Republican counterparts. The only bigger       disaster that I can think of other than a Romney presidency would       be a Romney/Jindal ticket. And that is a thought that for me is       too horrible to even contemplate. And if those two are elected       president/vice president, I'll probably wind up moving up in the       world by moving to India.              --Lee              --- MesNews/1.06.00.00-gb        * Origin: news://felten.yi.org (2:203/2)    |
