THE QUESTION is still being asked: what did mitt romney do for a living other than inherit money and run for political office? He started and ran a company which sometimes invested in new companies, and sometimes tried to save old, sick ones. Sometimes such companies survived, sometimes they didn't.
But we can all agree on at least one thing: mitt romney's chief concern was his own personal success, not whether companies succeeded or failed, and we can agree that really there is nothing wrong with that. Isn't it true that we must help ourselves before we can help others?
Isn't self service normal and natural? If mitt made a big profit leading this or that business into bankruptcy or liquidation, nobody has to like it, or voluntarily participate in it.
We the people of the united states of america could easily force our government to enact laws limiting all manner of economic activity, from personal income and wealth, to corporate raiding. In fact, we already have. Ours is an economy regulated by the government, on bahalf of we the people.
We agree, genarally, that we want as little government as possible, but as much as is necessary. Such choices can either be made by a powerful elite few, or by the people in general. However, a vast majority of americans have no interest in public affairs, politics, economic policy, or government.
Thus in america political power is voluntarily given to the few by the many, by default. And the wealthy powerful few, unimpeded by any popular political force of will, have transformed the american republic into the american corporate empire.
What will they do next? Their empire is showing signs of weakening and decaying.
What will we, the careless, indolent many, do next?
