Don, "The Republicans believe in an America that is rigged for the big guys -- giant corporations that can hire an army of lobbyists, ship jobs overseas, and take their profits to the Cayman Islands."
Remember Don there are always two sides to a story.
Pelosi Made Millions in Overseas Investments in 2011
President Obama and the Democratic National Committee have been savage against Mitt Romney over his foreign investments, but apparently have forgotten to mention Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
According to her 2011 financial disclosure statement (required for politicians) she made between one to five million dollars through a group called Matthews International Capitol Management LLC, a group that deals heavily in development and investment in Asian-based companies. The MICM group, according to it’s website, also heavily pushes the advantages of outsourcing. This comes on the heels of recent revelations that Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, the Florida Congresswoman and Chair of the DNC, has invested significant amounts of money in overseas ventures as well.
The sticking point here is Romney is being attacked over foreign investments while Democratic leaders who invested (and made) even MORE money from these ventures are considered OK.
Another big difference between Romney’s investments and Pelosi’s is that his were with a company that does not regularly market or push for outsourcing of jobs to other countries. As the Daily Caller put it, “Designed in California, Made in Manilla” sounds like the former House Speaker’s investment strategy. Just another example of hypocracy on the left.
I suppose Tom Harkins $1 million vacation house on the Bahamas which he also rents out part of the year is not considered an overseas investment to fellow Dems?
