When you think about it, Mitt exemplifies exactly the economic piracy and pillaging that the corporate suits have used over the past 20 years to dismantle the economy and reduce the middle-class standard of living. 10 years ago, he snuck in under the radar, but times have changed and he's got a much bigger stage to have his career examined in great detail. He's already feeling the heat and making statements that are not going to play well. "Corporations are people, too." And why won't he release his tax returns....whatcha hiding, Mitt? He's a man of principal...but no principles. No one likes this guy....even Republicans dislike him...and will only vote for him because everyone else is worse.

It's almost a joke that someone who has left a documented trail of broken companies and human misery while pocketing 10's of millions of unearned profits thinks he's the answer to the problems people like himself created.

after he tossed out 60,000 jobs in Flint, MI.

Mitts is a corporate figurehead.

Sadly we have a number of D's (including my Senator Warner) who are exactly the same in that regard.
