This is called “vulture capitalism” and it’s not a good thing. Driving a company into the ground and then feeding off it is not capitalism, except in the most distorted of worlds.

But that isn't true here. It was mainly a venture capital firm. The Staples investment was just that, as Kleiner Perkins invested in Google early on. I despise Mittens, but Newt never worked an honest day in his life, and it is a little rich for him to tell us when a capitalist makes "too much". No thank you. We need fresh blood in this race. There is plenty to shred Mittens about with his Mormonism, his illegal alien polygamist grandfather, his being an LDS leader at the time they had a viciously racist doctrine, RomneyCare, gay stuff, etc. We don't need these Occupy Wall Street talking points from Gingrich.

Venture capital companies invest in the future, and there’s a lot of risk involved. A company that devotes itself to seeking out a weakened company and then savaging it and draining its resources is not a venture capitalist company.

That's just boiler plate talking point stuff from the GOP establishment. Gingrich had a doctorate and years as a professor before he ever entered politics.
