Did it for an amount of money that, by itself, is no more significant to him than the nickel I saw on the sidewalk is to me. Make no mistake, Romney would kill you, cut your throat with a grin, for the coins stuck in the crack of your couch. Romney is interchangeable with a mugger or drug pusher, morally or psychologically: he will take whatever anyone has, whatever the harm it does them, so long as he can get his own hands on it and do so in safety. The back-story proffered as apologia in this does not make a damned bit of difference: if Romney had not gutted the company the man worked at, and pocketed for himself that man's livelihood, the matter would have turned out differently, and everyone involved knows it, with the possible exception of Romney and the sycophantic flacks of the press desperate to prove they are 'fair' by looking away from the truth of what vulture capitalism is, and what a vulture capitalist is. Romney killed this man's wife for pocket change, and Romney has done this to hundreds, thousands of people; pocketed their livelihoods and pensions, thrown them out of their homes, left them destitute and dying, and all so he could cram a few more dollars into his pockets. He has no regard whatever for human life where snatching a few more bucks for himself is concerned. That is what he is, that is what he does.
"Romney loves America like a tick loves a dog."
