Here's a nice little speech where Mitt Romney defends the free enterprise system and corporations:

No, I'm not American. And if I was, neither of those guys would get my support, I'm more of a lbertarian type. I just thought he made a good point.

What politicians will say to get a vote. Mitt Romney was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and he doesn't believe in uplifting people out of poverty. He is a man that will shut down a company to profit from it's demise. Mitt Romney is a lair and a flip- flopper. I believe nothing he or any of these political lairs say.

He lies so blatantly, it has become an art form. The majestic part is the majority of his base is voting their interests away.

The words "wisdom" and "Mitt Romney" do not belong together in the same sentence.

I couldn't find a single thing to disagree with in that speech. Capitalism is, beyond all reasonable doubt, the best economic system yet developed.

Actually, one bit I disagree with is crediting the free enterprise system to the US founders, especially as some of those guys were distinctly anti-capitalist. Adam Smith and the classical liberals deserve a lot more of the credit for promoting capitalism.

He did a good job of explaining how corporate America works and explaining how more than the one percent benefits.

1. You left out all the regulations companies must follow so there won’t be pollution and residual effects, regulations that cost companies a pretty penny that could take away from salaries.
2. You left out the benefit packages corporations give to their employees they don’t have to give and that cost the corporation practically a second salary for each employee.
3. You neglected to mention that that money could be used to enlarge the company giving more people jobs.
4. You forgot to mention that some of those embargo laws are unnecessary and hurt America’s corporations and their employees.
5. You left out the part where people of third world countries are getting jobs that gives them a better life than what they otherwise would have had making it unnecessary for the United States to send aid at the taxpayer’s expense.
6. You left out the part that it still cost them and that the knowledge of wrong doing is there for everyone to see whether they admit it or not and whether it’s in court or out of court they still can deny wrong doing.

He left out the part about externalities and how people outside of the company profit have to clean up after companies and the pollution and the residual effects they have on their surroundings.
He left out the part that corporations want to lower the minimum wage so they can boast even more profits.
He left out the part about how corporations take advantage of the 'peasant clause'.
He left out the part about how corporations break embargo laws and trade with terrorist countries and then pay a slap of the wrist fine.
He left out the part about how corporations exploit third world countries.
He left out the part about how corporations can settle outside of court and never admit to any wrong doings.
