If one criticizes capitalism on what Romney and Bain did... that they created a company and made money off troubled companies, then let's complain about the high charges that physicians and hospitals charge to their patients. Let's compalin about the high price that car companies charge for their vehicles. Let's complain about banks, oil refiners and oil companies. Let's not forget about pawn shops who capitalize on people who need money. C'mon fella, capitalism is supported by the Republican Party. Perry must be a Democrat cause he is certainly using the Democrat talking points on Romney and Bain.

WHERE IS GOP MORALITY HERE--JUST WINNING BACK POWER AT ALL COST? Or they don't care about morality any more even though they once claimed they represent the "moral majority"--a self-serving, corroding immoral alliance with power and influence. They don't see anything wrong with a business man who comes into town, buys a business, lays off hundred of workers, pays those that remain at sweat shop wages, sooner flips or sales the company for quick profit of sometimes 600% after looting the company's cash value and then leaves town for good leaving so much misery behind. Has the "moral majority" lost its soul? Romney's business practices make him unfit to lead the nation at a time of economic woes especially. He has no heart--and no morality. He believes that BUSINESSS (AND BUSINESSMEN) CAN DO NO WRONG; GOVERNMENT ALWAYS DOES. In the eyes Romney and fellow-travellers, business is a sacred cow that should never be put on trial; government must always be put on trial. It is all self-serving! If we adopt this mantra, Barney Maddoff will not be in prison today. Yet, even in America, we have always been able to investigate and prosecute the practices of bad business people. Romney is now asserting that to look into his nefarious business tactics is to put business itself on trial. Yet he is the one who is flaunting his business experience as the basis of his qualification to be President in bad economic times. He doesn't want to talk about his time as Governor of Mass. There too, as he did in business, when he left, he dismantled everything. He took with him all his computer drives--an unprecedented move in any state or federal government experience. He feels he is above the law and above reproach. This kind of arrogance portends danger for us all if he should ever be President. Thank God he will never be!
