“If what Bain did wasn’t “fair”, should we change the law so the government can decide whether owners of companies are being “fair”? “
It has nothing to do with fairness or even what is legal. If the goal is to make president the biggest predatory (but legal) vulture capitalist, then you ought to be voting for George Soros.
This debate is about whether Romney created anything or just stripped assets and piled pensions onto the government. As far as I can tell, it is a mixed bag. So game on, Mitt you have some ‘splainin to do!
And I have to tell you, if we were all to become vulture capitalists there would be nothing left, no matter how legal it is.
It’s not about legality, the question is, do we want somebody in the White House who has no problem with making taxpayers pay for their actions, while they enjoy the profits of those actions?
