Mitt Romney comes from this culture of corruption, so it's natural for him to bloviate about defending Capitalism because his version of Capitalism is fail-safe, as I noted before about his move to Bain Capital.
Tim Dickinson has found a pre-Bain Capital version of the "heads I win, tails you lose" game favored by the MOTU:
The federal records...reveal that Romney's initial rescue attempt at Bain & Company was actually a disaster – leaving the firm so financially strapped that it had "no value as a going concern." Even worse, the federal bailout ultimately engineered by Romney screwed the FDIC – the bank insurance system backed by taxpayers – out of at least $10 million. And in an added insult, Romney rewarded top executives at Bain with hefty bonuses at the very moment that he was demanding his handout from the feds.
