Mitt is fond of outsourcing, offshoring funds, and foreign investors, he should be a better diplomat

If it weren't for other countries, where could he get his cheap labor, where would he harbor his funds, and how would he get that money from wealthy foreign investors to start Bain?

Bain, he didn't build that...on his own.

Nations they are headquartered in, any more than Bain/Mitt does. Any insult or compliment to any people under a flag of any country doesn't matter. He's not interested in diplomacy, that is a tool of what he likely considers a smaller element in his sovereign wealth world, those pesky governments.

Mitt is and has been making his alliances with the corporatist who exist with or without legal restraint by revenue starved governments. Same as he and his friends the GOP excel at doing, 'starving the beast' to 'drown it in a bathtub.'

Not to be replaced with another aggravating institution, but his corporate friends. We are seeing through privatization. At this time I doubt he'd even deign to live in the White House, or do anything but rubber stamp Grover's orders.

Paul Ryan is the one who is doing the bidding of the Randians and as far as they are concerned the trappings of government are the same as what Frank Zappa talked about:

"The illusion of freedom [in America] will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater."
