Bain Capital closing Illinois Plant


This started happening when Romney left. Guess how much Bain executives have given to the Obama campaign and other Democratic candidates? In fact one of Obama’s top campaign financiers — Jonathan Lavine — is also managing director at Bain. So perhaps you need to change the title of this thread to 'Obama's Bain Capital closing Illinois Plant'.
No... The title of the thread should be WAKE THE FUCK UP!!! Vote for someone WORTHY!!!


My opinion.
 
Please continue this line of attack against Romney. Anti-capitalism!! Woo hoo!! That'll sell!!

:lol:

Even if the globalization aspects of capitalism is dragging the USA down?
Truths are hard for many to accept. Especially then our masters do not want us to realize them.
 
They are carrying on the same practices they did when Romney was there and it's pertinent today to Romney because it will show real time outrage and just how he went about making his millions at the little guy's expense! Disgusting!
 
What does this have to do with Romney????:eusa_boohoo:

Believe in America,
Invest in China.

TO be fair, the "Made in China" Romney buttons turned out to be a hoax, I believe.

Darn! I did not know that.
However the capitalist right's mantra is still accurate.

Believe in America,
Invest in China.
 
So this relevant how? I mean given the fact Romney has not been in charge of Bain for what ten year's now this is important how? Wait let me guess a unnamed Bain insider told Harry Reid that Romney is still secretly running Bain. That debate really sent you guy's off the rails didn't it?

The solution is very simple, you make the US business climate where thay can't afford to leave. What do you bet they don't have to have a staff of lawyers and complience experts to keep up with govt red tape in China. Those folks cost a but load of money.
 

Setting Romney aside from Bain, being he hasn't been there in several years. Has anyone looked to see how successful this company was operating?

here's a quick backgrounder: Late last year, a Bain-owned company called Sensata Technologies (ST) agreed to buy an auto-sensor manufacturing unit from Honeywell (HON). From the outset, Sensata said that it planned to move the jobs overseas at year-end 2012, since the majority of its auto-sensor business is in Asia. In fact, Sensdata didn't even buy the manufacturing facility from Honeywell. It leased it, with Honeywell expected to hang a for-sale sign when Sensata moves out in a few months.

To be sure, this is a horrible situation for the Sensata employees – the vast majority of whom have not yet found other employment (Honeywell hired just a small number of folks to work in its other Freeport facilities). After all, Sensata has never suggested that the plant was unprofitable. It simply thinks the effort would be more profitable elsewhere.

Unfortunately, the workers are barking up the wrong tree with Romney.

Remember, this is the guy whose campaign got into a well-publicized scuffle over whether he really stopped making decisions for Bain Capital in 1999 or 2002 (for the record, it was 1999). How could he possibly open himself up to legitimate charges of influencing Bain's behavior in 2012? Even if one argues it's the right thing to do for the workers, it's not the politically feasible thing to do (and, if anything, Romney tries to be a pragmatist in such matters).

Moreover, there is little guarantee that a Romney plea would even save the jobs. Yes, he has friends and former colleagues on the Sensata board, including chairman Paul Edgerley. But they have fiduciary responsibilities to their own investors, and Sensata has made it clear that the best financial move is to shutter Freeport. In addition, Bain could have future fundraising trouble if Romney is elected president. After all, who wants to invest in a private equity firm that seems to make decisions based on a politician's best interests?

What the Sensata workers really should spend their time on is pressuring state pension funds that invest with Bain (or which will be asked to invest on Bain's new fund later this year). Make a broader economic case about how keeping 170 Freeporters employed is better for the state -- and, by extension, its public pensioners -- than is making a few extra dollars on Sensata.

:lol: Well, that would be nice, but you know in America you have to either choose the blue team or the red team. :eusa_shhh:
 
If you're working somewhere and find out that Bain bought your company; you're next move should be to brush up on the resume. This is what they do if it makes economic sense to do so; jobs, tradition, the community etc... be damned.

Or the fact that taxes have increased in Illinois?

Illinois Increases Tax Rates for 2011 through 2025

Taxes increased because revenue went down because Bush let Wall Street run a derivatives Ponzi scheme that destroyed the world economy.
