   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.
