Bain Capital is Most Unethical Business in America (legal, illegals, dollars)

[Yooperkat]

Obama and Biden are saying that Private Equity Firms are good.

They are tip toeing around it - so they don't tick off Corporate America.

Only Bain is bad. Because Romney was there.


If Romney was involved in selling ice cream when he was younger he'd be found guilty of wrong doing by the Democrats for something?

You know, ice cream makes people fat. Romney hates kids. Something like that.

"Most unethical business in America" is a very high standard.

For instance, all around the country there are mortgage companies foreclosing on homes based on fraudulent documents. I would say that ranks very high.

There are corporations that systematically violate health and safety standards, endangering their workers, customers, and the public.

We have companies like Amway, which is nothing more than a glorified pyramid scheme.

Or, for something you may not have thought of, take a good, hard look at the NCAA. Every time you learn something new about them you find they have set a new standard for scumminess and corruption.

There is no shortage of unethical businesses, and it would be very hard to identify the absolute worst.

Talk about squeezing out jobs.

The U.S. Postal Service is going to reduce it's workforce by 150,000 by 2016.

By the way I have no problem what Bain did. The do what private equity firms do.
Turning a profit and paying their shareholders no matter what.
It's called free-market capitalism.

Simply listing companies that went out of business doesnt support your argument. KB Toys for example was financially troubled going back to the 1990's, well before Bayne bought into them. Bayne also owns Toys R Us, so why didnt they do the same with them?

Any thoughts?

The libs are pretty desperate to dig up dirt on Romney, as there is no dirt. Let us review Obama's transgressions-

1. $16 trillion debt
2. doubling the national debt
3. $1.3 trillion annual deficits
4. failed $1 trillion stimulus
5. Failed energy policy
6. Solyndra
7. closing gulf oil platforms
8. shunting US funds to Brazillian drilling to help his friend, George Soros
9. Reznik realestate scandal
10. Black panthers scandal
11. Fast and furious scandal
12. communists in the white house
13. Bill Ayers and Rev Wright scandal
14. questionable citizenship
15. hidden college transcripts
16. failed response to Gulf Oil spill
17. Keystone pipeline
18. opposition to non-union workers in S.C. Boeing plant
19. "stimulus" funds given nearly exclusively to democrats and contributors
20. Nancy Pelosi/Solyndra scandal
21. Aunt and uncle are known illegals
22. Obamacare disaster
23. failure to prevent Iran from securing the bomb
24. institutional policy to oppose coal and allow electricity rates to "skyrocket"
25. Far left supreme court justice nominees


I think that Ronmey is going to have more fun in the debates than Obama. If we want to talk about who is ruining America, look at the above list.

They will tell you Romney is unqualified to be president, but yet they copy his healthcare plan..

No, I told you to list companies where it happened and you listed companies that went out of business. Not the same. Hell KB Toys was bankrupt before Bayne Capital even bought into them. They were literally in bankruptcy at the time.

At least they are still in business, more than we can say about Solyndra, and we haven't sent Bain any money either.

WHAT exactly are you imagining I made up?

I asked a simple question, what is it about the simple concept of asking a simple question that causes so much difficulty for you?
