I think we need some more humorous examples of "harvesting" to use in light of Mitt's new video.

"Bain Capital increases the value of companies, and then 'harvests' them."

Colonel Sanders didn't fatten up chickens and then slaughter them, he just 'harvested' their undervalued assets.

Loggers don't cut down trees anymore. They 'harvest' the forrest.

Car thieves don't chop cars. They merely 'harvest' the value of the individual parts.

Cortez didn't steal the gold relics of the Aztecs, melt them down, and ship them to Europe. He merely 'harvested' assets that were of more value to Europeans than to meso American indians.

What are some others? This should be like shooting fish in a barrel.

8. The irony of that movie was that Charleton Heston didn't really HAVE to eat Edward G. Robinson.

He could have just cooked up his stupid little leather cap.

2. For us that did not see the video

What did Willard say??

3. Harvesting reminds me of

Articles I've read about harvesting human organs, body parts. It is a nasty business a kind of black market.

[TrollBuster9090]

6. Yeah, the human organs harvesting occurred to me, too, but I just couldn't think of a clever way to

put it.

Maybe: "Geoffrey Dahmer harvests organs, Mitt Romney harvests jobs. Same difference."

9. It makes me think of farming, and what piss-poor husbandry it is to go for the short term gain

while losing your seed corn.

4. I would like to see someone artistic make a grim reaper Rmoney

Harvesting the souls of American companies and sending them to China Hell.

7. The right wing noise machine is basically a real life version of THE MATRIX.

Instead of using people as human batteries, they use cutting their salaries, looting their pensions, and exporting their jobs as fodder for profits...and then convince them it's BAD to try and stop that (ie-'real men don't NEED trade protectionism.')

[HopeHoops]

10. What about harvesting pot? What the FUCK happened to that? Geeze.

[msanthrope]

11. Zombies harvest, too. nt

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

12. I'm sorry, but Mitt just using the word harvest....

really gives me the creeps. If there were a buck in organ sales, I would wager Bain would have been investing in it. Herd the middle class into the holding pens where their high quality organs can be harvested.

14. didn't he profit from aborted fetuses?

isn't that sort of the same?

[Zygoat]

13. we don't shoot fish in a barrel

we harvest them

[TrollBuster9090]

15. Damn, that was good!

Thanks, Bullwinkle!
Now, can you harvest a rabbit out of your hat?
