[QUOTE="sortaisle, post: 1043994, member: 17605"] You need to read up on Bain Capital some more I think. All is not what it seems in politics (go figure) and Romney while maybe not the shiniest of people is not an evil person by a long shot. People forget that Obama is worth 11 mil these days. He may have struggled and scratched to get there but he wasn't middle class for very long either and we are for the most part not as poor as he was...speaking for myself mainly and most UPSers that are full time. I think neither can appreciate the middle class. People like to focus on the 15-20% of businesses that Bain let fall apart and ignore the 80-85% that are healthy growing and thriving. Bain is an investment firm not a management firm. Plus there's plenty of evidence that those companies were on their way out when they were bought. You can make an argument that Bain's loan obligations caused the companies to go bankrupt but you can make a strong argument that they would have gone bankrupt on their own much earlier than when Bain got them. Here's a really good non partisan article by factcheck.org. One of the few places that checks facts only with laws, whole conversations, and actual numbers. Great site to check up on the BS.
