What I would like is an answer from the critics of Gingrich to the following questions:
What market forces are exhibited when looting a company?
How is it capitalism when you loot the pension funds of a company, and cause the taxpayers to pick up the costs of those pensions?
How is it capitalism when you demand kickbacks and buy-ins from state and local governments to keep the business from folding, while you are looting it?
How is it capitalism when you take the cash out of a company, then fire the workers, and force the rest of the taxpayers to fund their unemployment checks?
How is it capitalism when you deliberately loot the company and force it into bankruptcy, thereby stiffing all of the vendors and suppliers to take 5 or 10 cents on the dollar, plus court costs, for services and materials already provided to the company?
How is Romney’s corporate raiding different from the actions of the robber barons of the 19th century?
How is any of that “capitalism”?
Capitalism does not exist in a vacuum.
Our system is made for a moral people, according to John Adams, and wholly unsuitable for any other.
The people in the DC orbit are becoming filthy rich over the last 20 years, while we lose more of our wealth and our freedoms—how is that happening? Capitalism?
When the government is picking winners and losers, how is that “capitalism”?
Gingrich was right to go after Romney and make Romney defend his absurd claims that he was some kind of captain of industry.
Besides, the Dems were ready to unleash the same salvo, plus more, if Romney became the nominee.If anything, Gingrich did Romney a favor. Let’s see the golden haired boy defend his cliams like everyone else has to. He’s gotten away scott free until now.
South Carolina is only the third primary, and I for one am sick of the poundits telling me I have to line up behind the “clear winner” after the results of one open caucus and one open primary.
Nuts to them.
This post #128 explains the fallacy in denying the significance of ethical free enterprise.
Exit, I don’t think you’re going to get many answers on that one. -:) Obviously, I agree with your point about being “told” who our nominee has to be.
