Many talk radio hosts are currently claiming that President Obama is anti-capitalism because he has criticized things done by Mitt Romney's firm, Bain Capital, such as buying companies, pulling out millions for Bain Investors, then unloading the companies, only to see them fail. These talk hosts never distinguish between what Romney's firm did, and your typical entrepreneur who starts or runs a company in order to make money.
Is there a difference, or are they the same?

Free Market Capitalism is the most powerful economic engine ever devised by Man. It has the power to enrich every single man, woman, and child on earth.
Vulture Capitalism (or Crony Capitalism) is powerful too, but its power is to ENSLAVE every man, woman and child without access to the controls of the system.

Bain Capital has a much better record in venture capitalism than Obama's government crony capitalism does. Did you realize that taking a failing company (yes, they are already failing) and trying to turn them around for both companies a profit is not evil? Where do you guys live...on mars or in a government subsidized apartment?

There is a huge difference between companies that produce goods or provide services to individuals, and companies that just make money by restructuring other companies.
