Chris Christie and the Pres

[mngundog]

Yeah murral all of those rich, democrat politicians earned their money by accomplishing noble endeavors!

Did Murral delete a post were he was talking about all Republican politicians making their money that way, or was he simply talking about the way Romney got his money?

I guess you may be right. If he became wealthy by inventing something, or a medical breakthrough, or something that is not a predatory practice at the expense of working people, I would be ok with that. the way he made his wealth, in my opinion, is not a noble way to get rich. he did come from money as well. When you brag about "liking" to fire people, doesn't show much compassion for your fellow human being.

How did Obama create his wealth?

I'd like to know that also. He didn't do it on a Presidential salary.

Don't forget Michele's $300K per year job that was created for her at a Chicago hospital that didn't require her to show up nor did they replace her when she left.

Why hate anyone's wealth and success? Wouldn't it be better to have a job, work hard, have money left in your paycheck, pay less in taxes and have money in the bank as well. People want jobs, moms want jobs, we want to buy Xmas gifts, buy gas, food pay our bills, have a roof over our head, put money away for our kids college and hopefully leave them something when we die. In the last 4 years these simple things have been taken away from a lot of people you may be next. Ask them if 4 years ago they ever thought they would be in this situation? I'm sure the answer is NO. We have to try for better we can't settle anymore its time to move on .

I voted for a better future not for revenge. Revenge for what? Because Romney is successful? because he had the nerve to challange obama, or is he playing the race card ...once again.

Hey Murral,
Well, what about all of those noble politicians?

Murral,

Bain bought failing companies that they though had some value. Most of those companies would have closed if Bain hadn't bought them. Some companies were able to continue, some still failed. Some of the success include Staples, Sports Authority and Brookstone.

Of course Bain replaced people in failing companies. If they were doing a good job the company would not have been going broke. I'm sure all the employees that have kept their jobs because Bain turned their employer around 'like' what Bain did.

I don't know how he made his wealth. I am quite sure if it was shady, someone here would've found it and let us all know.
