Whenever I look at American politics I have to cry, because America's leaders are so corrupt it makes Zimbabwe look like a cake sale. I couldn't ignore the irony of the Huffington Post video about Mitt Romney and Bain Capital, the company that helped make him rich.
What is ironic is that whan Bain Capital (or the mafia) did to those companies is exactly what the politicians, lobbyists and "special interests" (i.e. the banks) did to the political system. Most congressmen are millionaires, yet they are elected by poor people. They add trillions to the national debt, cut taxes to wealthy people and big companies, and their backers (i.e. the banks) make even more money in the interest on all the debt being racked up.
Sooner or later someone is going to have to repay those loans, at $50,000 per person in the USA. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to know who will foot the bill. Hint: it won't be the rich bastards who caused the mess in the first place.
