First and foremost, Mitt Romney is a business leader. A CEO always represents his shareholders, not the employees, In Romney's vision of American, the Shareholders are the top 2%. The employees are the rest of us. In Romney's world, the bottom line is shareholder distributions and profits, not how well his employees are doing in their efforts to do a good job, and better their lives.
We have had 3 GOP Administrations applying Romney's "Solutions" for America, His own words are:" More tax cuts for the Job Creators" and more Deregulation", exactly the very same economic theories used by Reagan, bush I, and Bush II, which culminated with the Bush II/GOP economic meltdown of 2007/08. Ignoring the meltdown completely, looking at the two parties job creation records, it is obvious the GOP knows not of what it speaks. In 28 years of occupying the White house, the GOP created less than half as many jobs as the Democrats did in 24 years of their administrations.
Then look at the GOP claims that the Democrats are "Socialists", and believe in redistribution of wealth.
Once again, look at the GOP Record. Our economic history does not lie. The GOP are the true "Socialists". In 1969, the top 2% of all Americans owned only 8% of all of America's Wealth. Today, thanks to GOP trickle down economics, tat very same group now owns over 44% of all of America's wealth. Federal Deficits during the GOP Administrations prior to Obama totaled 10 Trillion dollars, and their job creation record is set out above.
The top 10% of all Americans now own 90% of all the wealth of America.That is an unbelievable, massive redistribution of wealth created by failed GOP economic policies.
For the GOP, the Corporate comparison is perfect. It is perfect for Romney, who was speaking from his heart when caught on camera discussing the 47%. They do not matter to him. Listen to the recording. One obscenely rich guy talking to other rich guys. He spoke his truth to his peers.
Now that the GOP Primary is over, it is time for "Severely Conservative Mitt" to be put away. it is now time for "Moderate Mitt" to come out and play with the voters of America, making statements which the GOP Right wing, and he know he will not keep. "47% Mitt" is the real deal. "Moderate Mitt" is simply a product of the GOP Smoke and Mirror Machine".
Now, compare the Clinton record during his 8 years, you know, the one with prosperity and a balanced budget, even a surplus, and massive job creation to the miserable record above.
Sorry Mr. Obama, "Romnesia" is too polite a word, even though it is accurate. In reality, Romney is simply lying to the American Voters, telling you all one thing, but meaning another. It is all ab out winning at any cost for "47% Mitt", who wants to be CEO of America, for the top 2%.
