Have to say as a now former Gingrich supporter who started up two small businesses, I find Gingrich's recent language about "greed" and being "filthy rich" to be very disturbing.
I caught a few minutes of Rush's show today where he "translated" what Gingrich was saying by playing a clip of Obama saying rich people "have made enough money."
That clip nailed Gingrich's own words to the wall and laid his own words bare for all to see, that Gingrich himself doesn't understand a key part of our Capitalist economic system, "creative destruction."
I'm not a Romney supporter, I don't like the guy. But what Bain Capital Management does is provide a necessary function for our economy to operate on a healthy level. Sometimes they save companies, other times companies get pared down (so they can continue to operate, which ultimately SAVES jobs) and other times they've been involved in the creative destruction of a company.
What Gingrich is bemoaning, is the creative destruction aspects of what Bain Capital Management does. The alternative to what Bain does, are the BAILOUTS that the Government has done over the last 4 years now, ranging from TARP, GM/Chrysler, Solyndra, and the list goes on.
I, nor any other right thinking Conservative Capitalist will argue in favor of Government bailouts. Not now, not ever.
Bye bye Newt.
I hope you're ready to pull the lever for Romney then, because that's who the Establishment wants.
