People aren't understanding what's happening here. If they did, they'd
be marching in the streets. Wall Street - in this case Mitt
"Corporations are People" Romney - used borrowed money to take over Toys
R Us. He paid off the management to the tune of $200 million, forced Toys R
Us to take out a business-killing loan for billions of dollars, and took
that money. And then he took the retirement and severance pay of the people who'd been working there, some of them for decades.
Billionaire Romney legally robbed thousands of poor working people of
their retirement and severance funds, and threw them onto unemployment.
And he's going to do it again and again, unless someone stops him.
That "someone" won't be the Democrats. Three Democratic congressmen sent
Romney a letter asking him to take pity on Toys R Us workers. And that
was the sole extent of their efforts: hot air and posturing. Of course
the Republicans have no interest in helping those workers, either. Both
the Democrats and Republicans work for the same masters: people like
Mitt Romney. The Republicans don't bother to figleaf it. And the sole
concerns of the Democrats are to A) keep that big-donor cash rolling in,
and B) to disguise the fact that they are the absolute servants of the
financial elite.
That's all. Nothing else.
Heads need to roll. And if we don't do it, nobody will.
