dudeone Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 11/08/2012 @ 4:25PM Mitt Romney's Campaign Cancels Staffers Credit Cards In The Middle Of The Night Helaine Olen , Contributor http://www.forbes.co...e-of-the-night/ The next time you have the misfortune of hearing a Wall Street titan or other one-percenter whine about how their trickle-down contributions are not appreciated by the masses remember this tidbit, courtesy of Garrett Haake at NBC: From the moment Mitt Romney stepped off stage Tuesday night, having just delivered a brief concession speech he wrote only that evening, the massive infrastructure surrounding his campaign quickly began to disassemble itself. Aides taking cabs home late that night got rude awakenings when they found the credit cards linked to the campaign no longer worked. No doubt a whole host of Boston taxi drivers found themselves stiffed when it came to tips early Wednesday morning. That’s what happens when the money trickles up, not down and it’s why healthy economies don’t depend on the trickle down whims of overlords. The minute Richie Rich decides he doesn’t need all that stuff staff … well, that’s that. In case you are wondering, this did not have to happen. The Mitt Romney for President entity does not end with Romeny’s Tuesday night loss. There are papers to be filed with various federal commissions and bills to be paid ….' But clearly not the taxi bills belonging to some of those most loyal to Romney. Maybe that’s what you get for taking a job with a multi-millionaire who boasts about the fact that he sneaks popcorn into movie theatres in wife’s handbag, so he doesn’t have to pay inflated concession prices for a snack.

Tearloch7 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 ^ ^ ^ Thanks Truc .. I watched this earlier .. I may not agree with everything he has done but he is a good and caring man .. Mitt is not comparable in any way .. as my Dad would have said .. "Mitt would not make a plug for Barry's arse-hole" .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonLever Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Well at least its his own money or money provided by sponsors. Contrast with his decision with the BC government paying $7 million for ICBC severance. http://bc.ctvnews.ca/7-icbc-execs-earning-almost-2m-in-severance-1.1031089 That is the difference between the left and right. Money wasted by big government comes out of every taxpayers pocket. There is no accountability by when it comes to money. Businesses on the other hand have a bottom line. If they can't make a profit they go bankrupt. The government just prints more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Some of you are simply jumping to this because it's Romney. Let's leave it at this: if I got fired, I'm not expecting my boss to pay my transit ride back home, nor is there an onus for my former boss to do so.

I♥Wellwood Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Is there any possibility that there was an automatic cut off date set on the cards? If Romney had won the election, he could have extended the coverage if he wanted to? Idk, just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
