This is how moronic Clyburn is, suggesting that Bernie Madoff did what he did in the name of capitalism and then equating that to what Romney did at Bain Capital. I wonder if Clyburn would suggest that robbing banks is in the name of capitalism, or conning seniors out of their retirement is in the name of capitalism? Because that is on the same level as what Bernie Madoff did. It wasn’t capitalism or in the name of capitalism. It was a criminal enterprise. It was in the name of theft.
Now, I don’t have a problem with questioning Bain if there is cause to, but my problem is that people don’t have a clue what they are talking about when it comes to the specifics of these deals. It’s just assumed that Bain did something wrong because of the amount of money that Bain ended up with from a specific deal, but I’ve heard no one substantiate anything. And instead of just asking, they take it to the next level and call it ‘looting’ and ‘vulture capitalism’ and I just can’t get behind that. And of course Clyburn is here comparing it to a known criminal enterprise.
It all stinks!
