(19,066 posts)He totally nailed Romney in saying that he has no clue how average people live and struggle. The portion of the tape where Romney talks about the Chinese factory did not get enough play IMO. It shows a clear vision that Republicans have for America, a future where sweatshops are the norm and you have factories with barbed wire fences and guard towers. The fact that Romney naively believed the guard towers and fences were in place to keep people out makes it even worse, his point seemed to be that look, we can treat workers like garbage and if things are kept bad enough they'll still beg to work in our sweatshops for little more than food. This is the GOP's vision for America, one where the social safety net doesn't exist, where unions are gone, and things are so bad that people will be begging to work in slave labor camps.
