It Was Actually Romney Who Campaigned Bearing "Gifts"


Beneath the raw offensiveness of Mitt Romney’s statement to his donors that President Obama won by providing “gifts” to African-Americans, Latinos, and young people, is a layer of remarkable hypocrisy: It was actually Romney who was promising big giveaways of taxpayer money during the campaign. But instead of offering his gifts to actual people, Romney pledged to reward his favorite kinds of virtual people — corporations and banks.

I can offer two blatant examples, from the education field, where I do some work. Given Romney’s strong orientation towardcrony capitalism – businesses that get rich off government programs – I’ll bet you can come up with more.

Pure propaganda from a liberal professor. Or shall we say a perverter of truth.
