You’re exactly right, but try to get the people on this forum to understand that. They’re equating venture capitalists with Romney at Bain as a leverage buy out firm.
This guy was Gordon Gecko, pure and simple. If he has nothing to hide then let’s see the transactions that occurred. Let’s see the track record and talk to the people who owned and worked at these companies.
We’re all understandably hyper over anything that might be interpreted as “socialist” or “anti-capitalist” because of obama’s extremist communist (and muslim) agenda. And civilizational or cultural conservatives like me are left out in the cold by most of these discussions. So I restrict myself to posting when I can provide useful, clarifying information.
George Soros comes out of the same corporate (and national) looter pool as the LBO firms and the corporate raiders. Yet he uses his “capitalist” wealth to finance out-and-out socialists and communists like obama and the “Occupy” movement!!!
Freepers and others who bash Newt as “anti-capitalist” for his criticism of Bain and Romney should ponder that fact long and hard. Then they should think about the unfavorable things that have been happening to our business system over the past few decades (with the collusion of government), and help find ways to do better. Re-electing obama or electing Romney won’t help at all!!!!
