An
Obama election clave claim that Mitt Romney excelled as President of the Salt
Lake City Olympics being organizer of that concurrently with making millions
and millions for shareholders of Bain capital seems absurd. How can anyone be
expected to believe that Romney is that sharp at organizing profitable private
and public enterprise?
If
Romney had moved on to the Olympic games management before formally quitting
his day job can anyone blame him? In the real world quitting one job before
starting another can result in no work at all.
If
an interim or transitional management team at Bain capital actually exploited
government rules and law to turn a profit sending some jobs abroad it is
difficult to fault those players rather than the U.S. Congress for setting the
rules of the game. We run right into the parable of N.B.A. rules.
Can
the Obama team expect the Miami Heat to not stuff the basketball in the hoop
even if it regarded as an unfair advantage over the shorter players? N.B.A.
rule makers would need to ban stuffs and egregious jams if they wanted to stop
the advantage that the taller players have over the smaller. If the Miami Heat
as honorable and nationalistic players refused to stuff the ball because it did
harm to American players (they are the shorter domestic players) then they
would lose to the teams that were willing to exploit the jamming/stuffing
outsourcing opportunities.
Plainly
it is the role of the Congress to pass laws that advantage American economic
players in the 50 states. They cannot rely on corrupt global officiating or an
honor system on Wall Street. There is no substitute for plain, simple and
well-designed rules that promote the interests of U.S. economic players on then
home court.
The
advantaged, taller players want to stuff the economic balls globally while the
shorter U.S. team wants to create a rule infrastructure that encourages
national economic development and full employment. Easy economic treasons are
the global convenience of the era of instant global communications and it would
require and intellectual brain-trust to reform U.S. nationalism sufficiently to
conserve and recover economic and ecospheric development.
Without
federal legal reform of economic philosophy that advantages national free
enterprise in smaller corporate units and delimits the opportunities for
intercorporate shareholding and networking a new global class of taller players
without borders will become a politically unaccountable ruling class. That
unofficial aristocracy will make a joke of local, national politics
fundamentally subverting U.S. nationalism in the political paradigm of the
founders of being independent and democratic.
One
hates to think that young players at Bain capital took advantage of the absence
of Mitt Romney gone too organize the Salt Lake City World Olympic Games to make
quick, cheap profits by outsourcing jobs to China or wherever. In the absence
of Mitt's supervision there might have been a breakdown of patriotism in
Massachusetts's windows on Wall Street.
