Isn't what Mitt did to companies the same thing that Gordon Gekko did?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

I can easily see & hear Mitt saying these words,
with that frozen little soulless grin of his:

"Well, I appreciate the opportunity you’re giving me Mr. Cromwell as the single largest shareholder in Teldar Paper, to speak. Well, ladies and gentlemen we’re not here to indulge in fantasy but in political and economic reality.... Well, in my book you either do it right or you get eliminated. In the last seven deals that I’ve been involved with, there were 2.5 million stockholders who have made a pretax profit of 12 billion dollars. Thank you. I am not a destroyer of companies. I am a liberator of them! The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you very much."

2. Isn't what Mitt did to companies the same thing that al Qaeda did?

If a foreign country or terrorist group did what Willard did we would have attacked them.

3. Perfect name for Mitt...describes him to a tee.

Predatory capitalist - I really don't know why people like this run for office. It sure isn't a commitment to public service.

5. "I am not a destroyer of companies. I am a liberator of them!"

He had to destroy the companies to save them.
