Fuqua (the out-of-state developer) planned to seek tax-increment financing (a/k/a Corporate Welfare) to help pay for demolition and infrastructure of the site, and he previously said the only way he could make the project work was by bringing Walmart on as an anchor.

Nice job, community organizers!

Hide the Ball: Romney's Long History of Hiding His Exorbitant, but Questionable, Business Practices

Hide the Ball: Romney's Long History of Hiding His Exorbitant, but Questionable, Business Practices
Thursday, 26 July 2012 11:16 By Dina Rasor and Jason Leopold, Truthout |

Story excerpt:
Romney's campaign claims that he has done everything within the law, but at times, it looks more like exploiting the law and being right on the edge.
If there were more transparency with the information on his business life, the public could be surer that it was all square and legal and not have to take his word for it. With all this secrecy in his life, could he pass a security clearance check or a Congressional confirmation hearing? No Congress would pass him for a presidential appointment or give him a special access security clearance with this much secrecy and especially with all these hints of undisclosed foreign money.

If Romney Wasn't at Bain from 1999 to 2002, He Forgot to Tell Stericycle

If Romney Wasn't at Bain from 1999 to 2002, He Forgot to Tell Stericycle

What business was Stericycle in?, you ask:

The investment in question: Stericycle, a medical waste company that, among other things, disposed of aborted fetuses.
How could the Stericycle investment be used against Romney?

Bain's involvement in a company that disposed of aborted fetuses could make a powerful final week direct mail piece or attack ad on Christian radio. And in a close election, turnout of the religious right is one of the keys to a Romney victory in November.

America’s billionaire-run democracy

What will a Billion bucks buy a fellow these days?

(from Salon.com - by Bill Moyers & Michael Winship, Feb. 13, 2012)

Mitt Romney's Billionaire Puppeteers are his hedge fund pals Robert Mercer, John Paulson, Julian Robertson and Paul Singer – each of whom has ponied up a million or more for the Super PAC called “Restore Our Future”.

Barack Obama's paymasters are likely to include financier George Soros, and Warren "I always pay with ca$h" Buffett.

Newt Gingrich takes his orders from Las Vegas casino boss Sheldon Adelson and his wife Miriam, fiercely pro-Israel and anti-President Obama’s Mideast policy. Initially, they placed their bets on Gingrich, who says on his first day in office he’d move the American Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, a decision that would thrill the Adelsons, but infuriate Palestinians and the rest of the Muslim world. Together, the Adelsons have contributed ten million to Newt’s “Winning Our Future” Super PAC.

"Blue Collar" Rick Santorum at least has the balls to have his billionaire best bud Foster Friess stand on the podium with his during his recent campaign appearances. Freiss is a born-again Christian who made his fortune herding mutual funds instead of cattle. Freiss has been bankrolling the “Red White and Blue Fund” Super PAC for Santorum, with whom he shares a social right-wing agenda.

Walmart Blacklisted!

Walmart Blacklisted by Major Pension Group over poor labor practices.

Excerpt from The Huffington Post, Jan. 6, 2012:

On Tuesday, the Netherlands' biggest pension fund, Algemeen Burgerlijk Pensioenfonds, with more than $300 billion in assets, announced that it was blacklisting the largest retailer in the world for noncompliance with the United Nations' Global Compact principles. The Global Compact presents a set of core values relating to human rights, labor standards, the environment and anti-corruption efforts. Sixteen other companies were blacklisted along with Walmart, nearly all of them excluded for producing chemical or nuclear weapons that violate the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
