Romney's Bain past continues to haunt him. ~msnbc.com

For Mitt Romney, his association with The Bain Capital Investment Group has become the bane of his candidacy. His recent claims of having a history of job creation in the private sector are under a deluge of attacks by the people whose jobs he ended. He and his cohorts did in fact save some jobs. However, they did so by gutting the companies they took over and out sourcing the labor over seas.
The link above shows a great interview aired on MSNBC's The Ed Show. In the clip the host ( Ed Schultz ) provides a former employee, of one of the companies Romney took over, an opportunity to explain how effective candidate Romney was at keeping and creating jobs. It is disturbing how politicians will try to Spin stories like this to claim how the things they did out of corporatist greed are examples of their leadership proficiency.

The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what
will sell.~Confucius

I feel that far too often it is the focus of the "Upwardly Mobie" to look to find the "loopholes" or "back-doors" through which they may slither as they attempt to get over on "the system". In their efforts to amass wealth, they seek only the "Ends", free from concern over the "Means".
Those who strive only to get over, that are never content to get by, are amounst the most abhorrent of greed consumed people.
It saddens me to think, that we have regressed to a society so compelled by the bottom line, that integrity is construde as a weakness rather than a virtue.

Please don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that being driven to succeed or having aspirations of greatness are not admirable qualities. I just find them to be despicable obsessions.
As a child, I was taught, that the meter by which Greatness is truly meassured, is not by what you've done for the betterment of yourself, rather, by what have you done for the betterment of society.

Furthermore, while I'm not so naive as to think greed and corruption are exclusive only to conservatives, I do feel that Republican ideals are far more sympathetic to the plight of the Greediest and most corrupt business practices. I guess I just find it ironic how the so called "religious right" are so adamantly opposed to all the teachings of their God... Jesus Christ.. If I'm not mistaken he was all about "help thy Brother".

Anyhow, on that note, I'll leave you with this:

He who earnestly seeks good finds favor,
But trouble will come to him who seeks evil.
He who trusts in his riches will fall,
But the righteous will flourish like foliage.~Proverbs 11:27,28
