I got onto a bunch of mailing lists during the 2008 elections. That's why this letter from a silly twit named Stephanie Cutter was in my inbox last week.
She thinks she's attacking Mitt Romney (a worthy goal), but this drivel coulda been written by a Mississippi Klansman who struggled to finish the 8th grade.
Lord have mercy, what a jingoistic woman.
And The Teleprompter Jesus should be ashamed of himself for all this racket about The Yellow Peril.
Here goes....
Whited --
The Washington Post reported this morning that "Mitt Romney's financial company, Bain Capital, invested in a series of firms that specialized in relocating jobs done by American workers to new facilities in low-wage countries like China and India."
This is the same guy that goes around the campaign trail talking a huge game about being able to protect American jobs by standing up to foreign countries like China. But now we know that Romney and his partners made millions while sending American jobs overseas.
Where to begin, where to begin. The computer you're reading this on was made in a foreign country. Some of the people who made it weren't event Baptists !!!! They worship strange Gods !!!!
Look, I've beaten the Free Trade horse to death more times than I care to remember or regurgitate. Here's a Don Boudreaux argument:
Are you willing to pay 50% more for a lawnmower made in your hometown? Home state? Nation? Continent? Hemisphere? Who is going to make the rules for protecting your job? Who are these angels who are going to ensure that your neighbor gets paid what you think he's worth?
Ok, back to Stephanie Cutter's plea for racial protectionism. (Sorry, but I've got to call it racism. Read it a couple of times. There's no other explanation that makes sense.)
This is a critical point, and we need to make sure everyone knows it. Check out this video I recorded today, and share it far and wide:
Romney's support of outsourcing didn't just happen in the private sector. As governor of Massachusetts, he vetoed legislation that would have banned companies from shipping state jobs overseas -- and he actually outsourced state jobs to a call center in India.
On shipping state jobs overseas.....If we can save .50 cents an hour on the money stolen from me to pay for "state jobs", we should send those jobs overseas. Now.
If people were given a choice on their ballots, they would vote for the same thing. Seriously. If you could lower your tax bill by, say, 30% by sending all state activity overseas, would you do so?
Hell yes, you would.
In contrast, President Obama has a jobs plan that could put up to a million people back to work -- including teachers, cops, firefighters, construction workers, and veterans -- help small businesses create jobs right now, and help to put an end to American jobs being shipped overseas.
Here's the problem with putting American teachers, cops and firefighters back to work. You have to pay them a ridiculous amount in retirement benefits. Some who are barely older than me are already retiring.
That ain't sustainable.
And did you notice how Stephanie wants to help "small" businesses create jobs, but not McDonald's, IBM, or Amazon? What's up with that?
He's also fighting for tax breaks for companies that bring jobs back to America.
Who is going to define what is an American job?
Mitt Romney is fighting for tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas -- the type of companies he ran in the private sector.
This isn't just a policy position for Romney, it's his economic philosophy -- and it's his record.
Read the article, watch the video, and share them both far and wide -- doesn't get a lot more important than this one.
Thanks,
Stephanie
I'm going to call in sick today so I can spend the morning praying for Stephanie Cutter to get a freakin' clue.

In fact, the critical assumptions on which the economic case for free trade rests are highly descriptive of reality: (1) the ultimate justification for economic activity is to improve living standards for consumers; (2) producers facing competition serve consumers better than do monopolists; (3) each party to a voluntary trade is generally made better off by such trades; and – most importantly – (4) the first three assumptions aren’t nullified merely by putting a national political border between consumers and producers.The lines of latitude and longitude of the factory don't matter to anyone but Statists collecting payoffs from Crony Capitalists. Do you really want to ensure that your child has a factory job putting plastic cases on iPhones??? I don't. And you don't.

Interesting that in her video she explains two possible outcomes for the troubled businesses. First, they could go bankrupt and out of business. Possibly losing all their jobs, assets, and their investors money. Second choice: outsourcing a portion of their labor and saving the company, their jobs, assets, and their investors money while keeping their product or service competitive for all to enjoy. I am absolutely not a Romney fan but the second choice just makes good sense.
Let's completely forget about the four decades of liberal legislation that made the USA an unfriendly business environment.
And it isn't merely the scope, cost, or number of regulations but the uncertainty in how they will be applied.
It's a CEO's job to cut costs, and it's not a president's job to create jobs. So everything she says isn't merely clueless, its also entirely irrelevant.
Hot Sam; It's not liberal legislation, it's systematically making it harder to start a business which kills the little guy and just skims a little bit off the bottom line for the big guy in exchange for a huge monopoly profit in the long run. The corporates know this and so do their 500 lackeys in Congress. As it gets tougher for the little guy, it always gets better for the big guy and their pawns.
For decades we've been told that multiculturalism is one of the world's leading virtues, and that all who oppose immersing ourselves in the healing waters of diversity are evil. Right?
There appears to be an exception for spending money with other cultures, in other time zones, with other languages and religions.
All I can say about Miss Cutter is that she appears to be just another Obamazombie idiot that the mainstream zombies love to listen to.
