The point Newt was trying to make is that if you’re going to take the liberal approach & attack me for practicing capitalism, then I will call on you to practice what you preach & take the liberal approach & give back the Bain “ill gotten”.

Using government power to make money is not capitalism. The left would like us to believe it is.

That is a bucket of crap. Newt was peddling his influence and lobbying off his political positions. Big difference to “capitalism”.

Think what you will of Newt, but he has never practiced capitalism. His consulting contracts, though perfectly legal, were at best rent-seeking, which we now call crony capitalism. It isn't capitalism at all, though.
