Here is what you have been missing if you haven’t been paying attention to the Romney/Ryan campaign for the past few weeks: 47% of the country are losers !
This is Wall Street investment banking financial engineering at its finest! Create a complex structure with enough inefficiencies to produce profits. No economic benefit to the "real world,' of course.
Corporations that want to be treated like people -- with free speech rights, etc -- should pay taxes like human people. I don't get to subtract my operating expenses. I pay taxes on my income only, minus a couple exemptions and $12K standard deduction. Corporations that don't waant to pay taxes like people should shut the fuck up. My friend.
<blockquote>After a US General Accounting Office report responding to concerns of Republican Senator Charles Grassley, the Romney administration vigorously defended using contingency-fee revenue maximization consultants and revenue practices &ndash; that the GAO labeled illusory. The GAO responded that &ldquo;hospitals should benefit from increased federal reimbursements and Massachusetts&rsquo;s arrangement appeared to result in lower payments to hospitals, despite increased claims for federal reimbursement.&rdquo; The Romney administration even defended double (if not quadruple) billing practices &ldquo;of allowing multiple agencies to bill Medicaid&rdquo; for &ldquo;services for the same beneficiary.&rdquo; The GAO concluded that the Romney administration &ldquo;did not provide convincing evidence that the [Medicaid] services provided by the four state agencies were unique,&rdquo; and the <strong>Bush administration agreed with the GAO&rsquo;s conclusions</strong>.</blockquote>
Mitt Romney: such a shitbag, even Chuck Grassley and the Bush administration couldn&#039;t stand the stench.
Are there no prisons? ARE THERE NO WORKHOUSES?!?

How much did Mittens pay to the consultants? Does Bain have a consultancy division? Inquiring minds want to know.
And then:

Romney-Care, the closer you look the sicker you get.
Sorry, if this doesn&#039;t originate with Buzzfeed I can&#039;t take it seriously.
I&#039;m sure none those catastrophically ill children would have gone on to be a job creator. No harm, no foul. Right Mittens?
