Mitt Romney is a guy who ran a group of investors that would buy companies then basically sell them off piece by piece to foreign interest because their was quick buck in it for him and his investors. Is it illegal no. But the guy is running for President of the United States and he no moral objections to doing that.

What does that have to do with the fact that he has given millions to help the poor when you haven't? And besides, your facts are off. His group of investors funded many startup companies, such as Staples. And yes, they also bought companies like Ampad and sold them later piece when they started having financial troubles, but after they had seen their revenue go from 100 million to over 500 million a year.

It's relevant because he believes corporations are people. He made his fortune buying and selling people, as far as he's concerned.

its relevant because the guy is scum. I'm not going to pretend he isn't because some ledger says he gave so much money for this or that.

I wouldn't expect militant leftys to understand these simple facts, but I still have to do my part on the innernets and inform you people. Maybe, just maybe one will see reality and say oh yeah, he did. And then we get down to real issues, like what's the plan to create jobs.

It's the same reason they get private equity firms' actions wrong. It's easier to put a political enemy in the same box with Gordon Gecko than it is to actually think.

So....he made tens of millions putting some people out of work, destroying their retirements, and making them poor....but he gave back a small percentage of that money to other poor people (and got a huge tax break in the process)?

Wow, he sure has helped a lot of poor people.

Mostly by helping them get poor in the first place.

I don't think giving money to a church so that you get special favors in your next life (which for him means being the intergalactic ruler of a planet) is really all that charitable.
