I have never been given the “pink slip” but I can empathize with people who do. I certainly am not saying that Romney one way or another but to blanket say that it is impossible to feel for people who lose a job is ridiculous. That is what I can’t stand about the media when they make these big sweeping statements. The media is basically bashing the conservatives who are unable to feel for people who are rich. No to Romney for real but let’s not say things that cannot be proven. Romney may be more empathetic than all of us put together.

I think unless you’ve received one and have a family depending on you, you CAN’T comprehend what it feels like.
It’s like thinking you can feel how horrible it is to lose a child.
Mitt has no clue.

Well your right on that. Boy you went for quite the example as a rebuttal. lol. And I hate Mitt so I agree with him not having a clue on anything at all.
Gotcha. So given your logic, nobody can really know anything about anyone else’s life unless they have lived it. Those that have not lost children can’t empathize with those who have. Those that have lost their adult children cannot imagine what those who have lost children under 18. Those that loose teens cannot imagine what it’s like to loose a younger child which is totally different and incomprehensible as compared to loosing a toddler. Oh, and Dr’s can’t empathize with their terminal patients because they have not died yet.
All to say, the high bar you have for empathy or guessing what’s in another person’s heart is arbitrary and pretty silly. I don’t imagine Mitt was crying about each and every one but he knew the consequence of his decisions. Bain attempted to take badly performing companies and turn them around. They had a top tier record of doing so. It was good capitalism and should be applauded. There is no form of finance that doesn’t have winners and losers. There is no form of leveraged buyout that is not high risk. Anyone that thinks they can do as well, near as well, heck just even positive returns without producing losers and pain - I’d love to see the business plan.
