Bain sent American jobs overseas

[GuyPinestra]

The reason Romney doesn't want to release his tax returns is because he illegally evaded taxes.

If that were true and his returns would prove it the proper authorities (the IRS) ALREADY HAVE the info...

Sometimes this is just too fucking easy...

I'll be leaving just any time my sister unhooks herself from work, so I haven't even had time to read the article, but they're turning the heat up on Romney's attempts to distance himself from Bain.

In your haste to post this story, I guess you miss all the other threads discussing the same?

We have Obama’s jobs czar, Jeff Immelt that outsourced jobs and then there is Obama who has spent US tax dollars to train overseas workers.

Obama trains IT workers using taxpayer dollars:

Now It's Armenia: USAID Funds IT In Eurasia - Storage - Disaster recovery/business continuity - Informationweek

When will he be indicted for tax fraud, Chris? Do tell. I mean, you have such a stellar record predicting indictments of Republicans, what with Walker recently being... oh wait........ never mind.

Romney's Bain Capital Pioneered Shipping American Jobs Overseas

I guess Romney wanted American jobs located overseas, with his money?

During the nearly 15 years that Romney was actively involved in running Bain, a private equity firm that he founded, it owned companies that were pioneers in the practice of shipping work from the United States to overseas call centers and factories making computer components, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Jesus, this is deja vu

Yeah, take it up with Jeffrey Immelt...

He's a Republican and sent jobs overseas too.

And?

Lots of liberal Democrats on Wall Street who've done the same thing.

True story.

Just like Obama is a Kenyan.

Run with it. It's a winner.

Study confirms Romney

Mitt Romney claims in every speech that he “knows how to create jobs.” Critics claim that Romney created jobs ‘overseas’. A study by the Washington Post released Thursday confirms that when Romney ran Bain Capital, it did indeed invest in companies that outsourced jobs overseas. In fact, Romney’s Bain was a pioneer in outsourcing.

I was a bit surprised to find out that relatively few jobs have gone overseas because of payment of wages and benefits. I did think that employees were sucking business dry and literally chasing them out of the nation. Not true at all. Most companies left, not because of employee demands, but because regulations made doing business here impossible at any cost.

I found this out listening to a radio show on Sunday when the most boring of radio is on the airwaves. We used to make wire hangars in this country. The major manufacturers left when regulations made it impossible to make hangars here. They went mostly to Viet Nam. Now the EPA wants to increase the regulations on hangars so that all hangars are made from biodegradable cardboard. This will end imports AND impact the lowly neighborhood dry cleaner who is the primary user of wire hangars.

This follows the lightbulbs and the requirement for refineries to make a fuel that doesn't exist anywhere in the world. It is all a specific design to reduce the US to the industiral level of Pre-Columbian Colombia.

Oh goody..

Employees "are sucking businesses dry"..

Mitt Romney has a personal fortune of around 250 million dollars. You have any idea how much money that is?

You couldn't count it in one life time. In fact..you probably couldn't spend it in a life time. Or 10 lifetimes. Or a 100 lifetimes. Or maybe even 1000 lifetimes.

And he's NOT even the richest guy in America.

Something like fewer then 500 people in this country control MOST of it's wealth.

It's not employees sucking the life out of business. It's corporatism sucking the life out of this country.

The purpose and goal of a company such as Bain is to make money. That's capitalism. There is nothing wrong with that.

Wrong are Republican policies and not understanding the difference between business and government. What Bain did is business. They are looking for the "best" deal and would be derelict as businessmen to not take advantage of such a good opportunity.

This is where government comes in. It's the job of government to make sure Americans can be competitive. The job of government is to promote education so American's can compete with skilled foreign labor. The job of government is to build up American infrastructure so we can be competitive.

Republicans spent close to 4 trillion to level and then built up Iraq. But they say we can't do that here.

So what are Republican's goals? That's a question the Republican base needs to ask their leadership. If they really want to know that is.

Being a hangman is only a job. Nailing Jews to crosses is only a job. Putting people in gas chambers is only a job. Business? Some business has no business being in business.

You have a dog eating dope smoking former community activist and a smart rich capitalist. Anybody confused about the best candidate?

[buckeye45_73]

Unions have already shipped jobs overseas. Noone wants to pay $1000 for a dvd player, sorry

 

[whitehall]

We have a former dumb ass dog eating dope smoking street hustler running against a rich smart capitalist? Which is the better candidate?

 

[Not2BSubjugated]

Mitt Romney should disclose 10 years of his tax returns. He should disclose exactly how much personal wealth he achieved through investments in firms that destroyed American jobs. He should disclose exactly how many offshore accounts he used, in Swiss banks and the Cayman Islands, and any other tricks his highly paid advisers found for Mitt to minimize his taxes, for his profits from destroying American jobs.

The Romney tax return cover-up must end.

Romney cover-up of his tax returns, offshore tax shelters and outsourcing profits must end - The Hill's Pundits Blog

So if Romney's obligated to disclose his personal information to disprove random accusations of people who disagree with him politically, shouldn't president Obama likewise be required to release his school records to disprove claims that he had shitty grades in high school while smoking pakalolo, but still got into top colleges by claiming foreign birth? I'm not even a birther, but it seems to me that if we're going to say presidential candidates are obligated to release documents that aren't the public's business in order to disprove accusations by political opponents, we ought to be fair about it. Not only fair, we ought to be fast about it, too. Get this shit out of the way. And we should be thorough. . . furiously thorough. We ought to be Fast and Furious about making them disclose private information to disprove accusations!

Now, as to the original topic, REALLY!? With all the political shit you could blast Romney on, you choose -this-? When Bain was cleaning up struggling business models, their primary purpose wasn't the glory of the republic, but only to make money by turning that business model profitable? You mean their mission statement wasn't, "For the people!"? Damn it, when will these business people learn that the purpose of an industry is to give people jobs, not to make products and profits!?

Barry Hussein never made a buck that wasn't financed by taxpayers or stolen from some endowment fund. Which candidate is better, a rich smart capitalist who worked within the system and made millions or a dog eating dope smoking former street hustler who never had a real job?
