Romneys Business Success Was Due To Corporate Welfare:
Governor Romney has held up his business experience as his main qualification for being President, and has been quick to dismiss the manner in which he acted as simply free market capitalism. What he doesnt mention is that some of his success has been due to huge government subsidies and tax breaks, something decried by the conservative Cato Institute as corporate welfare.
Steel Dynamics: Undoubtedly, Governor Romney will tout Steel Dynamics, the steel mill in Indiana, as one of his successes. You must tell the other side of the story: this was only a success because of more than $37 million in government subsidies. And what is even more damaging, these subsidies were paid for by raising taxes on the local residents. (LA Times, 1/12/12)
Worst debate ever, and that is saying something. The only thing I have gained is just more evidence that mitt is a scum bag.
