And this might come as a surprise but most CEOs don't sit around counting their gold dreaming up ways to fire more people. Sure, Romney said, "I like to be able to fire people". He wasn't saying he likes firing people, he was saying he likes to be ABLE to if necessary. If you have people remodeling your house and they're doing a $hit job are you going to keep paying them or are you going to fire them and get someone else? Same thing.
