I have NO IDEAs what business Romney started or runs

None

That part of his resume is missing from the promotions that this man’s “backers” (who also seem mysterious, cash raisers have been reported to form and dissipate rather quickly) has been running for over a decade

The “only” job I have “ever” known him to do- is run for President - because his father groomed him for it

And I heard he was a governor, too, of a highly taxed socially liberal state. How different would the US look now if we were all Massachusetts?

So help me out here- please share Romney’s private industries and companies, hwo he started them (please, not by inheritance, otherwise the Kennedys are successful too) what they do, who they employ and their track record of success - so I can put facts to his “proven business experience”

Romney was an initial investor/co-founder of Staples. Also, he’s co-founder of Bain Capital that finds, funds and expands or has gotten off the ground hundreds of businesses. Those businesses are - guess what? - providing jobs!

“Bain Capital manages approximately $65 billion in assets, and has founded, acquired, or invested in hundreds of companies including AMC Entertainment, Aspen Education Group, Brookstone, Burger King, Burlington Coat Factory, Domino’s Pizza, DoubleClick, D&M Holdings, Guitar Center, Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), Sealy, The Sports Authority, Toys R Us....” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bain_Capital

The man has a very serious business background, For all that can be said about his flip-flopping on social issues, and Romneycare during his governorship of MA, we denigrate (or remain ignorant of) his business experience at our own peril.
