Ever hear of strategic bankruptcy? Those guys developed it to what it is. Strategic bankruptcy allows for a company to keep operating even though it's gone broke. Granted that it usually means pay cuts and/or some jobs lost. But, it's a lot better than outright liquidation - which means everyone loses his/her job - or becoming a zombie corporation operating under a trustee while the obligations get sorted out. Asset stripping was part of the bankruptcy trustee's job. That's the way bankruptcy was handled before those guys came along. In the olden days, when a company went bankrupt it was kaput.
Anyways, I'm making a general point that has little to do with Romney himself. Some groups of people are easy to hate because they're doing the dirty work, and of course some others find it galling if the work's highly paid. And, of course, the people in the field aren't free market purists; they use the system like any other businesspeople. Show me the CEO of a "real" company that would turn down money extracted from the taxpayers in the form of a government subsidy.
One thing is crystal clear. Anyone that destroys someone else’s life to make himself richer is not fit to be a dogcather, much less president of the United States. I wan to see this SOB Romney’s tax records? What is he hiding? I also want to find out more about the pension plans that the Federal government (our tax dollars) had to bail out after Romney and gang looted the company and took off.
