I was unaware of that video. (There are so gosh darned many of them!)
But there's no need to watch it, since I respect Romney's choice to be obscenely rich.

Why wouldn't you watch it? Do you respect Rmoney's choice if that means immorally reaching the goal?

To watch the video would add nothing but nausea.

I think you don't want to watch it because he's a democrat. He's credible if you ask me.

Oh, no...I find some Dems interesting & insightful, but just not him.
Moreover, videos are a tedious way to get info compared to an essay.
Even libertarian videos bore me....except for some of Penn Jillette's.

Paul Krugman has an interesting take on how Romney got rich and what it means -- and doesn't mean -- for a Romney presidency.

Well, I watched the video. There is nothing wrong with using the current tax laws to your advantage. All this moral hoopla is nothing but class warfare and an attempt to demonise the Republican candidate and get Obama reelected.

Why not just change the tax laws that allow these loopholes instead of attacking Romney for being smart enough to figure out how to make money during the current system?

I think the whole thing was brilliant. Most of these companies where going to tank anyway and the people who worked for them where screwed anyway.

Look at it another way, at least the company is still in business instead of failing. Some times you have to cut the dead wood out of the forrest.

Don't you just love it when people who aren't in business analyze it for political purposes?
It's like watching sausage being made, but without getting any sausage when it's over.
