I'm under the impression that Bain purchased struggling companies and got them back on their feet and sold them. If I'm correct then you do have to make the needed cuts and sometimes it means jobs and people get hurt. Letting the business go bankrupt cost everyone their jobs not just a few cuts. Staples is one of those struggeling companies Bain purchased then sold after making the needed cuts.

There are many facets to Private Equity and one of them is in the mold of a loan shark. At the end of the day their sole objective is to make as much money as possible as fast as possible without any emotion or regard for anyone other than their shareholders. When the desperate take money from them they sometimes simply buy a company with the intent of laying off people and selling off the company's assets. It's a dirty business but then again so is the insurance business.


Bottom line, don't take money from private equity unless you know what you're getting into. Unfortunately the little guy isn't the one making the call to take money from them and they will almost always be the ones to get hurt.

You show everyday how big of a dick head you really are. You try to act smart but are very ignorant.

Forget Bain — Obama’s public-equity record is the real scandal - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/forget-bain-obamas-public-equity-record-is-the-real-scandal/2012/05/24/gJQAXnXCnU_story.html)

Good little read.

Shocker. A politician giving out legislation and funds based off a person's campaign contributions!! I can show you legislation from every Rep/Sen/Pres and it will no doubt correlate with some campaign donor or lobbyist. This is the absolute downfall of our government and will be until we kick corporations out of our government.



Choom Gang! Lol.

So you know his real stance on legalizing marijuana, it's just that he's being lobbied by corporate interests (tobacco, alcohol, drug pharmaceuticals) to keep it illegal. Money talks.

Well, compared to the "Romney cut some kid's hair 40 years ago", it's a good argument!

Touché.


At least the hair cutting incident was accurate based on witness testimony, the birther stuff isn't based off anything but wild conjecture.

I do act smart because I actually am. I am also a dickhead and I don't shy away from it. Self-acknowledgement is a prerequisite for self-education.


Instead of being on my nuts try to step out of the shadow and get edumacated.
