1 Percenters Flock To Support Their Own In Mitt Romney

The billionaires fueling Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign don’t like American workers, except to exploit them.

And they clearly know a soulmate when they see one.

At last count, 33 billionaires have donated to Romney’s “Restore Our Future” PAC.

Few of Romney’s billionaire backers make actual products – most simply siphon income from ordinary workers into their Swiss bank accounts.

Romney’s most prominent backer is Macao casino operator Sheldon Adelson, who is expected to give Romney’s PAC as much as $100 million.

America’s aristocrats of inherited wealth are also backing Romney -- the Marriott hotel heirs, the Wal-Mart heirs, a Mellon Bank heir, and an heir to a billionaire coal mining family.

What is so troubling about Romney’s backers is not their wealth but the source of their wealth. These corporate predators siphon income out of workers’ pockets, out of communities and out of the country. One exception – which proves the rule – is Jim Davis, founder of New Balance, a company that makes some of its shoes in America.

Romney’s predatory backers want to consolidate their power so they can continue funneling America’s wealth into their own investment portfolios.

History shows us that nations collapse when a small elite controls the government and runs an economic system for its exclusive benefit. Nations prosper when their economies reward broad groups – not just the wealthy, but merchants, traders, inventors, manufacturers and workers.........................

If there are men in this country big enough to own the government of the United States, they are going to own it.

George Soros pretty much does, with the aid of Warren Buffet, and Bill Gates. Hoffa lost me. His IBT owns Obama, and Obama has cost the IBT J O B S!!!! I wonder what Jimmy got for his endorsement/ selling workers down the river??????

All the richest Repubs together have less than about a billion; there are 14 Liberal Foundations that EACH have more than a Billion EACH...

We can see when Obama is in trouble- Deflect, deflect, deflect......

Obama's Stimulis gave $29 Billion to Overseas Jobs Outsourced from the USA. Rmoney outsourced ZERO! Yet Hoffa backs his owner....(And I don't even like Rmoney- I just hate Marxists!)

I'm confused here,so what you're saying is these 33 billionaires are liberal and donated to Romney's campaign

[Starkravinloon]

Sounds like a little jealousy surrounding the Hoffa and Obama Camp..... Maybe you are right jimmy..maybe some of those dues will start flowing into the campaign funds for Barry..

I admitted my error on another thread, apologized and posted a link to the Kochs vs Soros. Do you want to discuss Soros 34 million direct donations to Dems, his 50 million pledge, or his 100 million to Foundations that are Marxist?

There may be a Super Pac?, but it's not Rmoney's- or you'd already be on the phone to the F E C...
