Did anyone catch Mitt say, "you used to have a job that paid $22 a hour now it's $9 to that effect [View all]

I have been reading Matt Taibbi's article in the Rolling Stone and almost had a brain aneurysm from screaming at the TV when he said that as this MFer Rmoney is the guy who is responsible for taking over good businesses (like KB Toys )borrowing money to finance the acquisition, taking the money and pocketing it and putting the company in massive debt, raiding the pension fund and then bankrupting the company. When the company went into bankruptcy he left the employees, creditors and banks holding the bag. While he stashed that money tax free in the Caymans and Switzerland. He is the one who is responsible for eliminating those good paying $22 a hour jobs. The guy is unbelievable and evil. He will do the same to this country. Selling our assets off to the highest bitter. Hey you like that Jefferson Memorial we'll sell it to you for $5Billion and rename it the Koch Memorial with the Koch Brothers statues taking out that socialist Jefferson?

After he said that, I turned off the TV and watched an old movie on TCM Cleopatra. It was bad for my health to continue watching his speech.
