Romney hurt so many people,even multiple generations of families, because the only thing economically that trickles down in my opinion is poverty. It only takes one layoff off a head of household to ruin a family for years.

I actually think this tape wouldn't do as much good because it's about as articulate as I've ever seen Mitt. It actually at least shows some semblence of business acumen and foresight. Last, what good is playing the "going back to the 1980's" type clip. Going back to 1999 by the republicans to find "redistribution" was kind of shameful in my opinion. I don't think the democratic side should encourage that, especially when there is SOOOOO much recent stuff.

and everyone else afraid of losing our jobs. We know the greedheads have "business acumen", they are extremely skilled at sucking the middle class dry, aka "harvesting". But that business acumen isn't an admirable quality to a lot of us.

He is a much better speaker when he is plotting evil and not covering his tracks.

But the harvesting part is pretty damning.

Also, if you know raider speak, you know "find hidden potential" means lay off thousands of workers and raid their pension funds.

So matter of fact in plotting the demise of thousands of humans.

Hmmm reminds me of another destroyer in history
