They don't only make money sending jobs overseas. This is a capitalistic country. Bain has every right to make money as long as it's "legal". It doesn't even have to be "ethical", just legal.
But that doesn't mean he would make a good president. In fact, from what he did in the past, his presidency would be more of a matter of perspective. Republicans believe in every man for himself. They don't care about the middle class. They support cutting police, firemen and teachers. And cutting taxes on rich people. So if Romney did these things, Republicans would see a great president they could admire.
First, I agree with your first assessment. I was just trying to explain why it happens. On Romney, I'm not a fan. Don't see much difference between the two. Hence while I no longer call myself a Republican (haven't since McCain won the nomination). I've since gone back and revisited Bush's policies and found so much that I disagree with that its disgusting.
We will agree to disagree on Republicans.

I can only go by what the Republican leadership has said. When Obama said the private sector was doing fine, you could look at that as a comment taken out of context (which it was) because he was comparing it to the government sector or you could view it as a "gaffe".
When Romney said "less police, firemen and teachers", that wasn't a "gaffe", it was his honest to goodness policy. He made the same claim a week before at a school in Philadelphia when he said larger class size is good. When I say Republicans said this or that, I don't make it up. It's what they actually said. "Feed the poor and they'll breed" is something that wouldn't even occur to me. Or "education is for snobs". Or "I like to fire people". These thoughts don't exist in my mind until Republicans put those phrases there.
Again, you work on the assumption the only function of a company should be to make a quick buck for hte people who own it, not to be something that matters to the people that work there.
And I've said this before, I think that the outsourcing has always been more about breaking the American Middle Class than it has been about making a buck.
I do production purchasing for a living, and what I've found is that what you save in labor you lose in time, quality, and flexibility. FOr instance, you have to commit to buying something from Asia six weeks before you get it, as opposed to getting it next week from an American manufacturer. That usually means you have to run up higher inventories.

The corporations want to break the ones buying the corporate products ?

I work in this business every fucking day, guy. We've outsourced two major lines of product to Asia. The so screwed up the product lines with poor quality and long lead times that we've lost market share.
Of course this is about breaking the American middle class. Always has been.

Wow, guy, so you just want to ignore the evidence, I know.
I mean, where would you Wall Street Parasites be if people realized we didn't need you or your globalism?
Fact is, it's always been about breaking the Middle Class. Union Busting, right to work, Free Trade. And it's ultimately self destructive, but we are a self-destructive species by nature.

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.

Mitt Romneys financial company, Bain Capital, invested in a series of firms that specialized in relocating jobs done by American workers to new facilities in low-wage countries like China and India.
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.
Romney campaign officials repeatedly declined requests to comment on Bains record of investing in outsourcing firms during the Romney era.

Oh goody....another GST story.
Ask yourself this Chris (if you have the brains to think about it).
Why would anyone sell the company to Bain for 18 million and loan against the rest of the assets ?
Who wanted out that bad and why ?
Check it out.
Additionally, Romney was out of Bain in 1999.
This is just another example of a zealot like Chissy needing to spread misinformation so he can defend his soon to be dumped lover in chief.
