Romney will never be able to talk his way out of this one. Even the dumb voters aren’t going to buy the “retroactive retirement excuse” or whatever else they come up with to try to explain this one tomorrow.

Trickle down economics. Wonder what that brown stuff is that is trickling down on the middle class. Smells familiar in a very stinky way!
The problem with this economy is that the corporations are making tons of money, but paying little or no taxes because of the lobbying efforts to rig taxes in their favor. Banks are no longer in the business of loaning money to small businesses or people in order to create jobs and increase the wealth of the communities they are in. Banks are in the business of making money for money’s sake. Banks are no longer investing in the future of this country’s infrastructure or it’s people. The result of this “money for money’s sake” philosophy is what we now have: a concentration of wealth into the .01% and the taxing of the middle class to continue the accumulation of wealth for the .01%
Nice racket if you ask me!!
A solution is to go back to the regulations of the late 60′s and early 70′s on financial institutions where banks and stock brokers did what they were suppose to do, lend money to people and raise capital so companies could invest in the future of this country, with a modest profit for all. Nice dream.

They may have helped Staples but I worked there as a store manager and lost my job because they closed a bunch of stores.

Too bad Romney the fantastic businessman didn’t think of using a POA (power of attorney) during his “retroactive retirement” period.

This would have allowed the POA to sign off on doc’s instead of him, and given some, not all, credence that he had no active role. (note: not all POA’s are signed to ‘give up power’. but simply to designate who is responsible for certain aspects of operations = POA’s can be narrow or broad).

Also, too – SOX requirements. Any thing in SOX (beyond the SEC filings) and who signed off on the formal/audited annual reports provided to public/shareholders???
