The election story of 2012: Romney, Ryan guilty of political hypocrisy; unprecedented lying.
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan want you to believe they will turn this economy around and put 12 million Americans back to work just as Romney's Bain Capital is closing a plant in Illinois. Jobs, equipment and technology to produce aircraft GPS systems sold to China. The last day for workers at Senasta will be the Friday before the election.
Globalization and tax cuts in a globalized economy, made American companies rich as they invested less in America and more in developing countries whose people work for less and provide higher return on investment.
This is evidenced by the widening gap between the rich and the poor, the continuing record profits of multinational corporations and the lack of growth in (high-paying) jobs in America. The disappearing middle class. Thanks, corporate America.
