Does Mitt Romney Care About Jobs or Just Making Money?

Without greed and fear, there can be no capitalism. The fear of losing money is a good counterweight to the greed of wanting more.” – Mike Razar
To those who condemn Mitt Romney for his work at Bain Capital.

  • Should sales of struggling companies be prohibited; and if so, should government bail them out when they fail? Until when, when they are too big to fail?
  • What’s your recommended alternative, to have an elite ruling class decide what’s fair and what’s not fair and who the winners are and who the losers will be?
  • Yes, jobs are lost in restructuring, 750 at this plant in KS. But, should failing businesses be forced to continue until they predictably fail on their own, or worse, are subsidized?
  • Yes, businesses with the know-how and talent to successfully restructure old or build new successful businesses do (rightfully) make big money – but not just for themselves – there are many thriving businesses that employ far more people than were lost as a result of the initiatives this propaganda piece slurs.
  • Should our nation’s businesses as a whole become more efficient, productive, and successful - or, less so? Can you legislate against failure?
Yes, jobs are lost in a free market, as it must be. If they are kept from failing in the natural course of free markets then whole economies fail and all kinds of negative unintended consequences ensue.
I'm not a Mitt Romney fan but I challenge you to think beyond this kind of, what is in essence, communist propaganda; it's being broadcast with all the other “hate the free market” kinds of media messages for the same reasons there were “10 minutes of hate” broadcasts in Orwell’s “1984” – to keep you from thinking.
If you fact check beyond this Moveon.org (George Soros) propaganda, the net result of Romney’s involvement in Bain Capital, was a gain of many more successful business and jobs than were lost in the process of restructuring – as a net success. I care about jobs for all people. It is tragic when people lose jobs, when whole towns lose their employers, and when industries fail. But, hating the free market or people who make money leads you, by envy or hate; it also makes you vulnerable to the whims of demagogues who will be glad to control everything and ensure maximum equality – at much lower common denominators.
