do you think Americans understand the term "corporate raider"?

[grasswire]

And do Americans generally know that corporate raiders steal pension funds, close factories, outsource jobs, ruin businesses that Americans did like?

Do citizens understand the vampire nature of corporate raiders?

It seems that Democrats could make an effort to educate the citizenry about the despicable actions.

If Italians hate Romney because of what he did to them in the name of Bain, why can't Americans be informed enough to hate him for that too?

4. Do you think Americans understand.... anything?

Until the evil comes to them personally and ruins their life, it doesn't exist. Remember that these are the morons that were told that all we have to do is give all our money to people that already had more than they could use, and those people would somehow make all their problems go away... and they believed it.

They still do.

Some simple stories of real people whose lives have been ruined by corporate traders.
