A real capitalist has a concept for an innovative prodcut. She/he designs, builds, sells & services that product to a market that embraces it. Think of Steve Jobs & the i-phone. These actions require jobs to be created in factories, Shipping, engineering, human resources, etc.
Mitt Romney is not a "CAPITALIST" in this sense; he is NOT a Job Creator. He is no Mark Zuckerberg, no Bill Gates.
Mitt Romney looted the US treasury to enrich himself and left US Taxpayers holding the bag. At Bain he remove $ from pension funds which were backfilled / bailedout with money from the US Penson Guaranty Corp [tax payer money].
The reason parents are concerned about their kids futures is because we have like people like Romney glom onto the laurels of people like Steve Jobs. We don`t need a shyster like Romney in the Oval Office; otherwise the 30-year slide of the middleclass, which was started by Reagan`s policies, will ccontinue.
Anything better than getting dirty finger nail, I am began wonder what he talking about. Bless.
I had that feeling for the entire time W was in office.
We have a slow recovery, but it's better than being slaves to the fascists they want to put in office.
12 million jobs Mitt? Working with your conservative puppet masters Koch brothers? You will have an easier time putting a condom on a bull!
This isn't a huge surprise since every time there are people who aren't doing as well as they would like to be. That gets projected down the line to their kids.
with the republicans shipping every thing overseas,they will be living in huts,MADE IN AMERICA the only way to go no more imports and quit exporting americas oil ,to keep prices up
I hope Americans will remember that Mitt Romney has been trying to become President of the United States for several years and has never and will never be successful . Mitt Romney for several years stole from the middle class millions of dollars which he has around the world in " tax – shelters". Go Figure! If he doubts this statment then let everyone sees all of his tax statements from 2000. Thank You.
Of course they will be worse off. They will be saddled with enormous debt and even more if Obama gets a second term. Ironically, these young idiots are one of Obama's biggest supporters. I guess they think he is cool, hip. Once their brain develops and they get the bill for their stupidity, I'm sure they will blame others and not themselves. Wake up little dummies. Obama offers you a fre six pack now for free but noting is truly free. He's just saving the $10,000 bill to send to you in 10 years.
no need to check the facts – it is obvious he lied through his teath
