More Romney tin ear: protestors too young to understand economy [View all]

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/12/mitt-romney-bank-of-america-protests_n_1511868.html
"Mitt Romney said the protesters rallying against Bank of America in Charlotte this week are too young "to really understand how the economy works."

“Unfortunately, a lot of young folks haven’t had the opportunity to really understand how the economy works, and what it takes to put people to work in real jobs, and why we have banks, and what banks do," Romney told WBTV in Charlotte, according to National Journal. "It's a very understandable sentiment if you don't find a job, and you can’t see rising incomes. You're going to be angry and looking at someone to blame.""

I'm pretty sure that they understand that putting companies out of business (and their employees in the unemployment lines) to fatten stock portfolios doesn't employ anyone either.
I'm really starting to hate this dick.
