In Response to What Kind of Leader Makes Millions Sending OUR Jobs To Inhumane Communist China Sweatshops ?: The unfortunate reality is that many Americans really aren't concerned about how Romney made his millions of $$$ unless they've become the target of down-sizing and a closed business. Most really think that he's made his fortune by creating jobs when businesses failed, but many were eliminated for the cheapest labor possible which damaged workers but made millions of $$$ for Romney and his pirates. I saw a recent documentary on China focusing on a factory making jeans and other clothing. The workers were paid less than $1 an hour, working 12-14 hour days, sometimes 7 days a week, in very poor conditions. They slept on cots in the factory, cooked their own food and labored in turn-of-the-century factories that we once had in America. The pollution is so bad that the people have to wear masks. Yet, for Mitt, this was enticing as it was cheap labor, no obligations and no regulations. People had better wake up because this is Romney's vision of life in America.

Why not ask the president, who believes we should install chinese made windmills? Response to What Kind of Leader Makes Millions Sending OUR Jobs To Inhumane Communist China Sweatshops ?: Starting in the early 1980's Mitt Romney made hundreds of millions of dollars sending our jobs to Communist China. Romney as CEO for Bain Capital, would buy companies and many times fire our workers and send their jobs overseas. Romney made millions for himself and his investors because the Chinese would now make the same products for pennies per hour in the inhumane sweatshops in China. Our workers would not only lose their jobs, but lose their pension and healthcare, that they had paid into every year of their employment. Romney said he was amazed at how hard the Chinese would work for pennies in deplorable conditions. Instead of standing up against such inhumane treatment, Romney made millions from it and now he wants to be the leader of the free world ? Romney now says he will stop China from stealing our jobs, If elected. Sure he will . What kind of Leader is that ? Posted by mandm84 |

You might want to check into the jobs bill that the Republican Majority Congress voted down regarding building wind power in our Nation. Remember, the Republicans think the world revolves around OIL.

Just think how much the Romney's and other CEO's could make, If we would just work in unregulated inhumane factories, for pennies on the dollar, like the Communist Chinese do ? If the Tea Party Republican backed Corporate Billionaires get their way, that's where we're headed. We will be working for pennies and better be thankful, we are allowed to breath the same air.Response to Re: What Kind of Leader Makes Millions Sending OUR Jobs To Inhumane Communist China Sweatshops ?: In Response to What Kind of Leader Makes Millions Sending OUR Jobs To Inhumane Communist China Sweatshops ? : The unfortunate reality is that many Americans really aren't concerned about how Romney made his millions of $$$ unless they've become the target of down-sizing and a closed business.

Our economy revolves around oil. Thanks to obama's antifossil fuel policies we are paying more than 100% more for gas and heating oil. Millions could be employed in the energy industry. Wind power certainly isn't the answer! How many windmills do you think it takes to produce the energy equivalent of one fossil fuel plant?

And its time to change from being at the mercy of oil. Gas prices went up to $ 4 per gallon under President Bush too and went down as we neared the Bush policy caused recession. Trying to blame Obama on fuel prices, what a joke. Response to Re: What Kind of Leader Makes Millions Sending OUR Jobs To Inhumane Communist China Sweatshops ?: Our economy revolves around oil.
