Just before the Michigan Primary this week, Matt Romney decided to take a some pressure off his dad with a little comic relief.
So what did he do? he prank called his dad Mitt Romney using an Arnold Schwarzenegger soundboard. Mitt is clearly trying to be gracious at first when the awkward questions from Ahhhnolds movies start rolling. He finally realizes its bullshit and hangs up and gives a priceless “wtf just happened?” look as he attempts to figure it out in his head. After all, its not like his private campaign line is in the phone book – making the surprise aspect even better.
See? There it is again. Where is the leap in logic that limited gnenremvot = no gnenremvot?That’s not a leap I made. Haitian gnenremvot is what it is for one reason. Outside pressure, whether from the US gnenremvot or outside investors. When they’ve made efforts to follow an independent course those efforts have been stopped by our gnenremvot. Further back in time it was the French gnenremvot.What I think they need is independence. When the US colonies tried to make manufactured goods, those moves were blocked by the British. They’d tell us to pursue our comparative advantage. Trap. Fish. Send the furs to England, and in return England will send us the manufactured goods. They had all the same right wing arguments offered here. But when the US won independence we told the British to go to hell. Huge protective tariffs to nurture our infant industries. And our growth was spectacular. Those place that were unable to free themselves of British bondage, like India, remained mired in poverty.Haiti needs independence just like the US needed independence. All your right wing theories do is make the presently wealthy even more wealthy, and it’s couched in terms like it’s a benefit to the Haitians themselves. The British did the same to the US and India. In retrospect most people can see that it was bogus. It was really making the British rich at the expense of the colonies.
This is way more helpful than anything else I’ve looked at.
