Nope, just a workin' Joe hoping the "brain trusts" don't fuck things up more than they already do.
I'm still waiting for the better version the Democrats will do in the fall, but this is pretty nasty.

I liked the scene where they describe how they destroyed KB Toys, and they have the kid watching a report it's closing down and he looks like he's going to cry.

Well, unless you're working for the government, your employer most likely relied on venture capital/investment bankers to build the business. Very few entrepreneurs can launch businesses solely using their own cash. You can therefore thank a VC for making your workin' Joe job possible.

They 'destroyed' a company that was failing. The company destroyed itself. They salvaged what they could - for a profit, which was more than the owners were able to do.
Overly emotional bullshit does not equate to facts.
Idiot.
Joe, your so desperate to see Mitt go down (which I don't judge you for) that your letting that desperation cloud your view of what conservatives should stand for.
Look into the records of Bain and see for yourself they were not only a net gain for most firms they delt with but there success rate far exceeded the success rate of new business start ups. The companies that Bain took over were going to collapse regardless without the risk of being taken over by Bain.
A simple analogy would be a person/s that buys up old delapidated property and changes it then sells it. House flipping.
Hate the man if you will but this venture is as American as it gets. Risk/reward

I'll bet you blame rape victims for dressing like tramps.
KB Toys was purchased and taken private in 2000 by the leveraged buyout firm of Bain Capital for $305 million, Bain announced the purchase on Dec. 8th, 2000. Only $18 million of the purchase money was cash, the rest was borrowed against the assets of the company. Sixteen months after the buyout, Bain Capital paid itself $85 million in dividends in early 2002. Two years later, due to increasing competition from national discount chains such as Wal-Mart and Target and its enormous debt, on January 14, 2004, K·B Toys filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and closed 365 stores.
K·B closed 156 stores on November 8, 2007. The Gordon Brothers Group[3] handled the liquidation of these stores. On February 9, 2009, K·B closed the remaining stores following the second bankruptcy filing in four years. In addition, K·B Toys' website was closed down.
The K·B Toys brand and related intangible assets were sold by Streambank LLC to Toys R Us on September 4, 2009 for a reported $2.1 Million. Because K·B Toys' 460 stores had been closed and liquidated, the sale applies mainly to the company's logo, website, and trademarks/intellectual properties. Toys R Us remains unsure of how the K·B name will fit into its future business plan.[2] So far, Toys R Us uses the K·B Toys brand in self-manufactured toys, under the name "KB Classics" with the K·B Toys logo.

Because a bad system gives them control, I should be grateful for the bad system.
They only have control becuase the rest of us passively allowed them to buy our government and economy. They are parasites who've convinced us they are vital organs.

I think you are mistaking "conservative" for "PlutoCrat". It's an easy mistake to make.
This kind of thinking destroyed the middle class and is slowly destroying the country. I'm old enough to realize that things are not as good in this country as when I was growing up, and this Corporatism (not Capitalism) is really a large part of it.
And yes, I work for a corporation and I'm part of the hypocrisy.

Joe isn't a conservative. Not even close.

You don't know what venture capital is. You're just bashing on it because you hate Mormons and capitalism.
