In reply to the discussion: Dan Quayle ruins World Airways and loots it. [View all]JHB
(38,158 posts)35. No, it's nothing so neat. It's worse...
Quayle may have crossed paths with Romney here and there, but for the most part they don't appear to have operated in the same arenas.
The problem isn't a tight little circle of self-dealers (though there are more than enough of those), it's the pervasive mindset of monied interests in general -- and the financial industry in particular -- that puts return on investment over everything else, and so has pushed for the regulatory and tax legislation that allowed this business model to thrive -- no matter the damage it does to everyone else's business and lives.
