Cooptation.

Editor,

That this video was produced by REPUBLICANS (!) is nothing short of amazing. It could just as easily have been produced by OWS. But there is a catch.

This is the most egregious example of cooptation I have ever seen.

The idea is to pin all of the abuses of the 99% by corporate pirates on Mitt Romney. Purge ol' Mitt from the Republican presidential candidate roster, and the problem will disappear.

Unfortunately, there is a list as long as your arm of Republican politicians, from Mitch McConnell to Paul Ryan, who stand precisely for what this video rails against and for a rogues' gallery of multinational corporations that do worse to the common man every hour than 100 Bain Capitals could do in hundred lifetimes.
