I'm no Romney supporter either. I just hate these attacks on him based on the fact that he was a successful private equity manager. They are wrong and people who make the arguments are showing their ignorance of how a market economy works.

Exactly. I had to hand out pink slips for economic reasons as a factory foreman and I've gotten a few myself over the years.

They are not attacking him for his success, they are attacking him for his lack of honesty. Romney NEVER feared a pink slip for any economic reason. He was born wealthy to a major auto executive who went on to run, AND OWN A HUGE PERCENTAGE, of AMC. He grew up in Bloomfield Hills, MI which makes Gross Point, Shaker Heights and many parts of Beverly Hills look like Harlem or Watts. After the ‘compulsory Mormon degree At BYU, his Daddy then went on to become governor of Michigan and bankroll his sons gold plated Harvard education in the law and Business. He then went on to work at Boston Consulting Group to learn the business of corporate raider, this lead to a position at Bain & Co and a stint as a managing partner and CEO.

He has never had a moment of economic discomfort and concern and to portray a knowledge of such fear is a LIE!
