That's the thing, he and Bain Capital risked their own capital on these ventures. They did a pretty good job as well.

It is no longer even debated that capitalism produces the best.

The strategy now is to leech offa capitalism's production and pay self crony money.

US constitution was best implementation so far of limiting the leeching.

If we simply stuck to it, we would all be 3-10x as rich.  Not equal but everyone richer by far with better tek that crony communism and unions hold back.

"Progressives" oddly are ones who stall progress.

A pension is paying someone to sit on ass...... simply get rida that kinda thing and everyone in the game working, then second half is reduce government so losers can go out biz and winners hire them after losers fail at unproductive actions.  We see the reverse where government pays losers to lose.

Again, IT WAS ROMNEY AND BAIN CAPITALS MONEY.

They weren't gambling with our tax dollars.

Get the difference?

The segment also leaves out a lot details.

-What is the relative health of those surviving companies?
-Margins?
-# of employees?
-Do they actually make money or do those "helped" by the govt. continue to rely on taxpayer funds to survive?
-Among other things.

Stewart left that all out which isn't all that surprising.

most of the deals were the equivalent of subprime mortgages
Bain puts 5% down and gets financing for 95% of the purchase
The company not only has crushing debt payments but they also have to pay management fees to Bain.    The next step is layoffs and sending jobs overseas.
Bain easily recoups their 5% initial investment and everything else is gravy
When the company is sucked dry they move on to the next victim

Im not here much but everytime i check in, strawman is schooling you guys on the whole story. And whorewell.....im sure bain does due diligence as to if the proposed company is worth screwing. All they need is 5% to let the other investors know their serious. So profits are very easy when they max out whatever equity is left and downsize it into oblivion. Bains money??????LMAO.
