Carly Fiorina demolishes the only talking point she and Donald Trump have

Last edited Mon Jul 13, 2015, 02:26 PM - Edit history (1)

while trying to defend Trump:

FIORINA: Meanwhile, crony capitalism is alive and well, the big are bigger, the wealthy are getting wealthier, because with a very large powerful complicated government, which is what we have and which Democrats want more of, only the big, the powerful, the wealthy and the well connected can survive. Americans who have jobs are working longer and longer hours, those who are working part-time want to work full-time. We're tangling people's live up in webs of dependents who would like to move forward in their lives, only our programs and sent them to fall back into those webs. So, yes, we need to grow this economy, but that begins by understanding where growth and job creation come from, and that's the small, the new, the family-owned businesses, the community-based businesses, those are being crushed by the weight and the power of this federal government.

So, she thinks growth and job creation come from the small, the new, the family-owned businesses, the community-based businesses? In that case, the experience of running a huge multinational, or a multi-billion dollar property empire, is irrelevant. Fiorina and Trump are just examples of "the big are bigger, the wealthy are getting wealthier". And if we look into their affairs, we find crony capitalism. And workers getting laid off.

Bye-bye, Carly - you've just recorded the attack ads against you, if anyone ever needs one (doubtful, admittedly).

There were 4 people in his dept, she fired two and told the other two they would do the work of 4, or be fired.

He did it for a while, but had to quit as his dr. said job and stress was literally killing him.

His favorite part of the day was fiorina (dont capitalize rightwingers names anymore, they dont deserve that much respect)
would lecture the employees over a speaker system, all the hallways and rooms had these speakers and she would lecture them about how BAD of a job they were doing by talking about the profits or lack thereof for the company.

She was hated by everyone who worked there, HATED.

My friend now works for a corp which is not overtly trying to kill him.
