Have you ever watched the movie “Pretty Woman?”

Yes, it is liberal, with liberal actors, but do you remember what Richard Gere did for a living in that movie?

I’ll remind you. He was a filthy venture capitalist. He was someone who took over other people’s hardearned companies by hostile takeovers, then he parcelled out the companies and sold them at a profit. He ruined business owners, and he put workers out of jobs.

This is what simple Americans know about “venture capitalists.” Romney’s business acumen will not likely play out favorably with the American public - not to workers, and not to business owners.

“I’ll remind you. He was a filthy venture capitalist. “

Spoken like a true Marxist.

Yeah I agree, Venture Capitalist are looked on poorly. They are viewed in the same class of lawyers, lobbyists, and politicains. However, reasonable people can look beyond someone’s choice of career. We have elected lawyers, and certainly politicians in the past.
