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   
    JM> employes   
      
    Competent employers don't have many unproductive 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   
    JM> American wigdet when they can get it cheaper?   
      
    Why should a manufacturer be allowed to import something that   
    could be made here, without having taxes levied to balance out   
    the slave labor wages of China?   
      
    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?   
      
    Private contractors tend to reduce the workforce to below   
    justifiable minimums. That and cut wages and benefits. Any job   
    worth doing is worth a living wage.   
      
    The state has no right to authorize private individuals to hold   
    others prisoner. That is a power that should only be exercised   
    by the state, after due process of law.   
      
    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.   
      
    Too bad what he said is true.
