Read the article. Like most articles it starts out with a premise. See if you can guess it?
He describes Romneys childhood: "He was born disgustingly rich"
Yep...if you go out and work and make something of yourself and then have a son...that son isn't born to wealthy family. Nope, he's DISGUSTINGLY rich.
Because having a lot of money is "disgusting" in the view of the writer.
Next up, he takes a speech where Romney used a metaphor of the debt being like a wildfire coming towards your home and your children.
The metaphor is of course that the debt is passed on to the next generation.
In the next sentence the writer says that Romney is scaring people into believing that their children will be "roasted alive" by the debt.
I guess when you are an elitist political writer, you just automatically assume that us "regular" people can't understand what a metaphor is and what the meaning was.
He then goes on to minimize any real dangers of the debt. And then waxes poetically how guys like Romney are responsible for the factories that everyone's fathers and grandfathers worked in going bankrupt and all the jobs going overseas.
Rich guys did it.
Apparently in this "unbiased" world of the author....the fact that the U.S. has one of the highest corporate taxes in the world has NOTHING to do with it. The fact that union labor drives cost through the roof has NOTHING to do with it. Overreaching govt. regulations and licensing and fees and endless bureaucratic hoops to jump through..has NOTHING to do with it.
And most importantly...the fact that a lot of those jobs are obsolete (as President Obama told us himself during his convention speech last week when he said we need to get educated for the new economy) and the products that were being made are no longer being purchased by consumers...has NOTHING to do with it.
It's all just rich guys.
And Bush.
