http://thinkprogress.org/progress-report/mitt-romney-tells-the-99-to-stop-being-jealous-quiet-down/ROMNEY: You know, I think its about envy. I think its about class warfare. When you have
a president encouraging the idea of dividing America based on the 99 percent versus one
percent and those people who have been most successful will be in the one percent
you have opened up a whole new wave of approach in this country which is entirely inconsistent
with the concept of one nation under God.

So what if they made this money firing good people because after all
we are "one nation under God."
ATTN: Republicans please make this turd stick your nominee.

God help us if they ignore it, offer some mealy-mouthed rebuttal, or, worse of all, try to one-up Mitt's bullshit.

Not having to worry about money at all and just being able to take advantage of the opportunities life has handed you. Romney does not understand what it is like to look for a job and not be able to find one.

Bain Capital is just one such company.
