Hypocrisy out of the Romney camp? Perish the thought!
In 1999 Gilchrist Metal Fabricating got $800,000 in tax-exempt revenue bonds to set up a second manufacturing plant and buy production equipment to produce High-def TV broadcasting equipment. They got a $550,000 SBA loan in the late 80s plus matching funds from federally-funded New England Trade Adjustment Assistance Center. He subcontracted with the US Coast Guard in 2008. Another Navy contract in 2011 was for $83,000. Owner Jack Gilchrist says, “I’m not going to turn a blind eye because the money came from the government. As far as I’m concerned, I’M GETTING SOME OF MY TAX MONEY BACK. I’m not stupid, I’m not going to say ‘no.’ Shame on me if I didn’t use what’s available.”
According to the Ohio School Facilities Commission, Sollmann Electric Company was awarded a $915,117 government contract for his work on Trotwood-Madison City School District in 2006. In 2007, they recommended finalization on a $1,080,700 bid for work in the Dayton County School District. In 2008, he did contract work for Horace Mann School in Dayton. In 2010, Sollmann was awarded a $1,689,829 contract for Miami East School District. In 2011, he submitted a bid of $274,792 to the Ohio Department of Administrative Services for a contract at Rhodes State College.
According to the Ohio Tax Credit Authority, Seilkop Industries received a $74,114 tax credit that increases by a multiplier of 1.022 over a 4-year period and $30,000 tax-funded expansion help.
Endural LLC and Philatron Wire and Cable (“We Did Build That” roundtable contributors in Costa Mesa CA) received hundreds of thousands in government contracts. An auto repair shop in Roxbury Massachusetts Romney claimed succeeded because its owner took risks and had dreams in reality started out without any money and built his business with a local government-issued bond. Millwood, Inc got a $44,226 worth of state tax breaks, says the Ohio Department of Development. Spring Service Corp received a $70,000 Ohio Workforce Guarantee in 2005.

Another "dumb" drive-by - ABCDEFG
[ In Reply To ..]All the splicing, dicing, and taking out of context in the world will not change the fact that the president (and Elizabeth Warren because this was a takeoff on her original speech IMO) is right when you listen to the speech in its entirety. And you can't change the fact that the argument Romney is trying to make is full of holes.
Common sense tells me the president/EW are 100% right on (somewhere along the line every "success story" has used a public road, public education, student loan/grant... (do I need to go on?) along with hard work, creativity, and dedication) but for those who need more proof (or lack common sense), it's right there in the articles provided by the OP. Nothing dumb about it, and it's not the OP's fault that Team Mittwit didn't do their homework before using these businesses as examples and are actually helping to make the president's point (when not taken out of context).
Suggesting that the topic the OP brought up is "dumb" is out of line and kinda rude.
Communist/socialist - sm
[ In Reply To ..]the gig is up, most of America is on to you lefists and what your trying to do, God help us, praying Mitt wins or its over for the United States, an economic collapse is coming, not even sure if Mitt Romney can undo the damage Obama has done. I am scared for my children's future.
Are "most Americans" also on to the socialist commies - Mitt used in his ads?
[ In Reply To ..]They are now. LOL. Nice try, but trying to have it both ways is also something that's become a frequent flyer in flawed campaign rhetoric, a perception the GOP just can't seem to shake.
our children's future... - ctmt
[ In Reply To ..]...will not be helped by paranoid ideation like: "most of America is on to you lefists and what your trying to do". (?!)
I would wonder, rhetorically, what you think the Romney campaign is "trying to do" by being unaccountable to the press and people of the United States. If it is okay with you that an individual seeking the highest office in the free world 1) declines to disclose his financials, 2) insults and alienates world powers with whom we need to negotiate, and 3) declines to talk to the American press with whom he is traveling, then you would have to consider that choice and how it will impact the kind of future your child will have. Think about it.
I would submit that the greatest risk to our children's future will come at the hands of those who embrace political sound-bites in lieu of doing their own thinking and performing due diligence.
Another dispatch from the land where fact packing is dumb - and drivebys rule the day.
[ In Reply To ..]Sad, but true. The hypocrisy of the ads has been exposed, and rather handily I might add, in excruciating detail for all the world to see. There's more where that came from. I just figured half-a-dozen or so examples were enough to get the point across, that heaping lies on top of lies is status quo for the Romney camp, and that they aren't beyond using intensely false advertising ruse to cover up the fall-out from their already well publicized out-of-context maneuvers and machinations.
Obama and Holder are criminals - Real Americans want them out - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Obummer is toast so move on - he was never qualified for the job and is an imposter to boot, he has a Connecticut social security # 049 but never lived in CT - he is a disgrace to the USA and will go down as the worst president in our history. You leftists are losing and you can't stand it, another conservative has won a senate seat in Texas.

Obama Sends Mexico $75 Million To Build WallSep 17, 2016

Paris To Build A "wall" Around Eiffel Tower As TerrorismJun 30, 2017
Americans are still waiting for a border wall, but France is set to get a wall of their own by the end of the year. Unlike the American iteration, this barrier won’t be erected on the French border. It’s set to surround the Eiffel Tower to shield it from terrorist attacks. Last month, the Paris city council approved a $20 million bulletproof glass wall, just over 8 feet high, that will surround the iconic tower. In a country proudly obsessed with art and beauty, this will be an obno ...
