How many hard working Americans retirements is Romney enjoying for them?

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

When I was a new college grad, there were few jobs to be found. After I finally found one, hostel corporate takeovers and leveraged buyouts plagued the first 15 years of my career. I saw company after company taken over and take my coworkers retirement funds. This is why I do not trust corporate America, and I loath people like Romney.
That was the Ronald Reagan and Gordon Gekko era in America.

If you buy a company, including it’s retirement liabilities, then you borrow all you can get against that company, then you pull out all the cash you can (usually several times your initial investment), then you let the company go bankrupt. The retirement liabilities get whipped out. I my mind you have just stolen all the employees retirement funds.

I think this post's title is a question that Romney should answer.
Do you think it is a fair question?

1. That is a great way of framing it!

I think the wording of the question needs to be worked on a little but it's a great question. In my opinion it needs to be less wordy; more succinct.

Maybe "How many pensions has Romney diverted to his own pockets" or "How many pensions has Romney stolen" or something like that.

Maybe follow it by something about what he'd do in the White House.

Perhaps "How many pensions has Romney stolen and what will he steal if he controls the White House?" Something like that.

2. Worded your way, people will roll their eyes.

The OP explained how it may have happened in a believable way. Could be reowrded perhaps, but the point of borrowing money against a retirement fund they had no intention of seriously paying back would need to be made.

4. I was referring to the question in the OPs title, which explains none of that.

My suggestion says pretty much exactly what the OP's question says. My wording is just different.

If my way would cause eyes to roll, then so would the OP's. I personally don't think that either would cause eye rolls.

9. How many pensions does it take

to build a mansion? Then i would run an ad of workers talking about how they lost their pensions juxtaposed with scenes of a house being built. I'd end the ad with a picture of Romneys mansion.

13. Find out how many grandmas and grandpas any part of their pensions

because of what Romney did and show what some of them had to do to make ends meet. Preferably cases that many American families would know about and relate to.

3. I really like this.

It's quite clever.

Graphics need to be made, videos too.

With a fleshed out narrative and some pro visuals, this idea is good enough for the national campaign.

Bravo!

5. Ever served on a jury?

I've sat on several trials, including one for armed robbery where the defendant took $100 from a Denny's cash register.

Yet these megacrooks profit from workers' labor and then laugh about it - with no consequences.

There's a book called The Sociopath Next Door, written by a Harvard psychologist. The focus isn't on serial killers, but the 4% of the general population who will figuratively stab you in the back for business or personal advantage and not feel a twinge of guilt.

It really opened my eyes to the fact that there are people out there who will say and do anything to get what they feel they deserve.

It's scary.

6. "Did Romney Steal Your Pension?"

Video ad, followed by two or three first person testimonies.

Closing question... "What will a President Romney cost you?
