The Mitt Romney campaign for president claims Mr. Romney created "well in excess of 100,000" jobs at Bain Capital. That's wonderful (if true). Congratulations!
Mr. Romney and Republicans despise government, claiming the public sector is simply a drag on the "wealth creating engine" of the private sector. Thus, with an estimated 12.5 million Americans listed as officially unemployed, why is Mr. Romney seeking public office?
The unemployed NEED Mitt ... the private sector needs Mitt!
Yet ALL we get from Mr. Romney is TALK about how he once created jobs — talk, talk and more talk.
How about Walking the Walk and Ending the Talk? As president, you won't be able to create jobs. Sure, you can hire a few hundred staff members and make some key appointments. Yet true to claims by conservatives, this isn't job creation, as these positions are funded through taxpayer support. And, in our difficult financial times, many of these positions are unsupported — simply adding to our growing national debt.
What we need, what America needs, is Mitt Romney to return to the private sector and create a business. Any business will do but something innovative would be preferred. We need Mitt to show us how to create jobs; how to stimulate the private sector; how to return millions of Americans back to employed status. The private sector and this nation needs an industry role model.
I'm publicly asking Mitt Romney to do his civic duty — to help our nation and America's families in this time of need. Just as you, Mitt, saved the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, we need you, Mitt, to save American capitalism.
Join me in asking this American hero of industry return to industry and save us all! Please end this talk, Mitt. Let us see your walk ... the walk of a great capitalist.
Mitt, please end the talk. Walk the walk!
