Romney privatized the gains and socialized the losses.

Who says socialism is such a bad thing?

"Mitt Romney touts his business acumen and job-creation record as a key qualification for being the next U.S. president."

"What’s clear from a review of the public record during his management of the private-equity firm Bain Capital from 1985 to 1999 is that Romney was fabulously successful in generating high returns for its investors. He did so, in large part, through heavy use of tax-deductible debt, usually to finance outsized dividends for the firm’s partners and investors. When some of the investments went bad, workers and creditors felt most of the pain. Romney privatized the gains and socialized the losses."

But Dante... That's the American way!

Take health insurance... Privatize all the profits gleaned from young and healthy workers paying premiums to private bureaucracies and as soon as they become disabled or 65 and start having routine medical claims, dump them off on the taxpayers via Medicare.

Cha-Ching!!

You didn't get the memo? My handlers at Obama African-unAmerican Socialist Headquarters have assured me that the end is near. The camps are already being set up and names are being taken. When we thin the herd (think death panels), the healthcare issue will have become manageable.

thank you Uncle Joe Stalin...we will copy your master plan

It sure beats the Barry Hussein strategy of "socializing the gains and privatizing the losses".

Mitt Romney touts his business acumen and job-creation record as a key qualification for being the next U.S. president.

Romney

What’s clear from a review of the public record during his management of the private-equity firm Bain Capital from 1985 to 1999 is that Romney was fabulously successful in generating high returns for its investors. He did so, in large part, through heavy use of tax-deductible debt, usually to finance outsized dividends for the firm’s partners and investors. When some of the investments went bad, workers and creditors felt most of the pain. Romney privatized the gains and socialized the losses.

What’s less clear is how his skills are relevant to the job of overseeing the U.S. economy, strengthening competitiveness and looking out for the welfare of the general public, especially the middle class.

Wealthy, well-connected people have been gaming the system for a LONG time, even as they denounce lazy welfare queens etc. What's more, often when legislation is written, lobbyists make sure that the language is worded in such a way as to provide, at the very least, an ambiguous interpretation which their corporate bosses can exploit and still stay within the letter of the law.

yeah, and have you seen that Willard Mitt Romney the Vulture Capitalist has the nerve to
use this line of attack in Pennsylvania today:

Romney told a Pittsburgh-area crowd that "he's ashamed" that Obama "hands out money to the businesses of campaign contributors."

Romney smells defeat
