I know many of you have seen this Republican produced documentary that sheds light on Bain and Romney. I have seen snippets of this on You Tube and on City Data but this is really heart wrenching. It profiles four companies that Romney bought, loaded with debt and finally raided. Romney has some clips of great one liners like "Creative Destruction" where he boasts that people will suffer in order to make a profit. This guy is a hyena. The KB Toy story is amazing. 15,000 jobs lost.
Chuck,
Take a moment and delve into Romney's dilemna! As the CEO of Bain, he was responsible for making big profits for their investors. This is capitalism at its finest. However, their path to success has been filled with a few bumps along the way. They have had to kill a bunch of companies off, which has caused thousands of Americans to lose their jobs. As a presidential candidate, Romney has to face these voters who can accuse him with taking the mantra "Profit over People." It's an unenviable position to be in but it's the course he has chosen by bringing his record at Bain into play. He has an uphill battle with Bain because on one point, he can claim it as an American success story but on the human end, he has to deal with all of these political ads, documentaries and interviews of working Americans who lost everything because of Bain.
And how many has he saved? How many of those companies are still around and still hiring. Why do you look at just the down side?
Do you really think that he went in there and said this company is going down....or did he attempt to try and save them? Were these companies already on the verge of going bankrupt.
I look at everything, and weigh all, not just the bad.....The mantra of "Profit over people" is only because the left is pushing that mantra....why wont the left talk about the jobs Romney made? Does it out weigh the jobs Romney lost?
Are you telling me those voters are still "jobless"?
This is the first time in history that a presidential candidate has been personally responsible for killing thousands of American jobs, closing factories and destroying the livelihoods’ of middle income families.
Solyndra, Ener1, Solar Trust.
The difference is that Obama gambled OUR money, not his own. Same outcome, though. Except for that pesky "historical deficit".
No, not in the least. I think the free enterprise system is the best system there is. That does not however mean that I blindly support all aspects of that system and some of those aspects have the capability of wrecking the system.
Corporate raiders are just one preditory aspect. Wall street is full of practices that should land the operators in jail for long periods of time. The stock market is in the process of losing the confedence of a large % of people who used to be investors but no longer are because they see the game is rigged to a degree.
Corporate raiders are just big time manipulators. In many cases they profit by ruining and taking down companys and selling off the bits and pieces.
What voters should pay attention to far more than Romneys successes or lack of in business is how well or not did he manage the finances of Ma.during the time he was the chief executive there.

So calling venture capitalists "corporate raiders" is the new garbage being dictated by the masters of the left?
They NEVER talk about the jobs created by those same villains do they? They've created more jobs than Obama has ever dreamed of. Although, anyone creating ONE job would be an improvement over the failure-in-chief.
Yes and what others fail to acknowledge is "Profits over People" must happen to employ those people. The profits provide employees the money and benefits we all need to survive.
All this talk about Romney business experience.... help me understand what experience Obama brought to the job before being elected. Did he ever run a business or have any experience in creating jobs ? Personally I would not hire anyone like Obama. He's like his college professors, all theory and absolutely no real world experience.
