Or is that in fact somehow a little bit of a flawed system? And so I do draw distinction between looting a company, leaving behind broken families and broken neighborhoods and then leaving a factory that should be there.” PeopleShouldLittlesFactsAsksBitsAbilityWalksBehindsCompanyRichBrokenRepublicanLittle BitDrawsCapitalismLeavingDistinctionNeighborhoodFactoriesManipulateFlawedHandfulRich PeopleLootingBroken Family Author:Newt Gingrich
