Let Them Eat Pavement

Mitt Romney likes to pose as a regular ol' main-street billionaire. But he still can't help showing himself up as the shark he really is... However hard those campaign advisers might try to school him in the ways of populism, he just can't help letting a dorsal fin pop out once in a while.

Yesterday, the man who made millions buying up companies and making them saleable by firing employees, explained how it would be wrong to "intervene" in the foreclosure epidemic sweeping the country. No, says Mittens, more houses need to be repo'd and more families made homeless so their houses can be bought up for pennies and rented out for profit. Nice.
