Costco Founder Nails Romney - He Best Return Those Shirts!!!
...at Costco, we recognize that job creation requires time and investment and commitment to the long term. *** It Requires Companies that Plant and Grow, NOT executives who REAP and RUN. ***
We're proud that Costco pays the highest wages among our peers, that we provide benefit and health care plans that are second to none, that we've grown our business by promoting from within. So we're not just giving Costco people jobs, we're empowering them to build careers and support middle-class families.
At Costco, we know a thing or two about what it takes for businesses to succeed, for a company to do well by its shareholders and to do right by its employees at the same time. We don't want one set of rules for ourselves and another for our employees.
Business needs a president... who takes the long view and makes the tough decisions. And that's why I am here tonight supporting President Obama, a president making an economy built to last.
America needs to be a nation where everyone follows the same rules of the road so that small businesses can compete with the big, so that small businesses can become big, so that breakthrough ideas and hard work are rewarded MORE than speculation.
...Here's the thing about the Costco story: we did not build our company in a vacuum, we built it in the greatest country on earth. We built our company in a place where anyone can make it with hard work, a little luck and a little help from their neighbors AND THEIR COUNTRY.
I'm here tonight because Costco's story is the American story. Because it's a story that President Obama is helping millions of dreamers and doers to write anew for themselves. And I'm here tonight because I believe he deserves four more years to help us write the next chapter.

I thought his digs at Romney were JUST the right measured stroke -- especially from someone who worked hard to get where he is and heavily invested BACK into the company he built and the people who helped him build it, not harvesting to death it's very soul for every last cent of profit.
* note, one instance of 'our company' was replaced with 'Costco' for clarity

Plant and grow, NOT reap and run! 
It's just not convienient. 
Obama 2012!
