Romney Defender Says Americans Would Find Romney Financial Shenanigans Distasteful
Steve Rattner, the man who in Romney's defense supposedly sandbagged the Obama campaign's presentation of an anti-Bain ad had this to say about Romney's financial tricks...
"If you say to your tax people, as he seems to have done, 'I want every trick in the book. I want to push this to the edge,'" Rattner said during an appearance on "Fareed Zakaria GPS" on CNN. "I will tell you that as a private equity guy, I'm familiar with many of the things that he did. And I know many people who have done many of the things that he did. I do not know anyone who did everything that he did."
"Some of what he did, like the IRA, I have asked fellow private equity guys," Rattner said, referencing the account in which Romney has stored up to $100 million tax-free. "None of us had even known this was a possible trick, if you will. He has pushed the envelope all the way to the edge, to his benefit, and I think that Americans would find that pretty distasteful."
Follow the money. Money is Romney's god. Romney likes firing people when it makes him money. Romney prostrates himself before the altar of profit-at-any-expense.
The American people do not need the empty and selfish, mean-spirited, values of a Vulture Capitalist (Texas GOP Governor Rick Perry's phrase for sleazy business types like Romney) like Willard Mitt Romney.
