In reply to the discussion: President Obama to meet with Mitt Romney [View all]relogic
(155 posts)17. Now I'm nervous
Why is it every time our President meets with rich people who have no shame in promoting the most predatory, venture capitalism he ends up giving away what principles he promised to preserve? Whether it's equitable health care for the lowliest or fair tax rates imposed on those most benefited by working-class employees or earned entitlement programs--Mr. Obama has earned the suspicions of we 47%. Backslapping Romney as if he actually would cultivate the earth of benefits other than for the top millionaire club is a figment of the most-deranged optimist that ever inhabited the mind of vulture capitalists in their unregulated glory.
