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.
Thank you
So Romney is...... a very large investor
Bully for him
Of course, to be an investor, it helps to start out with lots of family lucre. The art of the deal is swell, just what we need, a big time capitalist to beat a big time socialist.
Didn’t Sarah start the dialogue on crony capitalism? Romney and obama may be opposing spectrum archetypes.
God, I hope we get a US president who has actually worked with her/his hands. And who inherited nothing.
