If Romney wasn’t managing the day to day, then he’s not responsible for management decisions just because he is the owner.

And that is a fundamental moral flaw that has wedged its way into contemporary American society.

Romney was the owner, and got the key benefit (profits), but he doesn’t have to shoulder the responsibility.

In the old days, when nobility took this stance, it eventually led to social structures that couldn’t stand.

So no, I’m not cheering on this return to hierarchical power structures of old.
