Mitt Romney---corporate raider, destroyed jobs and companies to get filthy rich
Even the conservative New York Post has a story on how Mitt Romney didn't create jobs at Bain Capital. The company engaged in leveraged buyouts of other companies, laid people off, slashed their budgets and buried them in debt while Romney & The Raiders lined their pockets before getting out and letting the companies go under.

Here's Mother Jones' take on the issue:

3. Herman Cain is a Kochpuppet.
He deserves no applause for anything.

7. Consistent with the Koch's wanting to turn all of us into pizza cooks and deliverers.

2. and when the Sopranos did that -- it was called racketeering
Romney's company, and all the other *private equity* companies that work like this are gangsters in Brooks Brothers suits. And our media and government has elevated this chicanery to a godlike status. They are nothing more than vultures - and need to be called that by EVERYONE.

5. I agree. They're like an updated version of the robber barons of old.

6. Then he will be the perfect candidate
For the corporatists. That's pretty much their plan for the US.
