You can't accuse Myth of being both a liberal and a heartless capitalist who likes to fire people.

Why not? There are lots of such folks on Wall Street: absolutely ruthless in running their business, don't care a wit about anyone around them, but back every expansion of state power on the plea that it will "save the earth", "protect a woman's right to chose", "is for the children", . . .

The one thing that suggests Willard shouldn't be called a "liberal" is not his delight in firing people, but the fact that "liberals" don't give away their own money to charity: they expect the state to do what charity should out of tax dollars.

The best thing that can be said for him is in the context of Massachusetts politics, the GOP followed the Buckley rule and ran the most conservative electable candidate. (Sad comment on Massachusetts.)

Of course you can! The liberal elite love to exploit the benefits of capitalism while applying socialist policies to minions the want to control.

Ain't that the truth!
