One thing is crystal clear. Anyone that destroys someone else’s life to make himself richer is not fit to be a dogcather, much less president of the United States. I wan to see this SOB Romney’s tax records? What is he hiding? I also want to find out more about the pension plans that the Federal government (our tax dollars) had to bail out after Romney and gang looted the company and took off.
Well, I did say that my response had little to do with Romney: it pertained to Romney's new BFF. As for Romney himself, I can see where you're going with it. Far too many limousine liberals become so because they feel guilty about something they've done or have. In many cases, it's a guilt complex...but in some cases, they've done something that they should feel guilty about.
As far as CEOs are concerned, I wasn't really knocking them in my earlier response. Businesspeople tend to take the system as it is and find advantages therein. That's how money is made: finding value differentials and acting on them. Little wonder why the libertarian movement is dominated by academics and would-be academics; the ability to critique the system and "srike the root" is profoundly unbusinesslike.
Bain Capital didn't destroy anyone’s life. It was the messenger of bad news, not the cause of it. Bain’s private equity line of business invested in troubled or failing companies and tried to turn them into profitable ones. The workers at these companies were screwed by bad management and/or high wage union contracts long before Bain came into the picture. Contrary to what the MSM (and, unfortunately, some people on FR) claim, Bain capital didn't buy successful companies and loot them. Successful companies are too expensive for firms like Bain.

From what I understand and maybe I don’t have all the info but had Bain not stepped in an saved these companies, they would have failed completely and everyone would have lost their jobs. I mean it is one of those things where some get hurt or they all do. I think it is incredible that they saved so many companies and some people even got rehired. Look at Sport’s Authority and Dominoes. They would be gone without Bain and now look at all the people working there. I just don’t understand your anti-capitalism. Very conservative unlike behavior and disappointing. There are tons of things to bash Romney on and this one is not one of them.
