Romney's Freeloading 47%...
Plimp:
It is wholly irrelevant who they are, or even if some of them might actually be inclined to vote for Romney. His essential points - that there is a substantial number of deadbeat freeloaders who consume lots and produce no value; Romney and Bain Capital. I read the Rolling Stone article that someone posted a link to. Did you read that? http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/greed-and-debt-the-true-story-of-mitt-romney-and-bain-capital-20120829 It should not be possible for 47% of people to be in families that don't pay income tax. Willard Romney helped make it happen. |

In fact I'd say that it was very much what all venture capitalists do. Finance a company's start up; ensure it is well managed and sell your shares when it is profitable. -- Cheers, John B. |

Since for some reason I can't access the Rolling Stone web site, it tells me I need to be a member, perhaps you'd like to explain what Bain did in some detail? -- Cheers, John B. |

Since for some reason I can't access the Rolling Stone web site, it tells me I need to be a member, perhaps you'd like to explain what Bain did in some detail? The article is pretty long. I posted a summary in another thread. Bain didn't necessarily "buy low", they just bought. The target company, not Bain, was the one who had to pay off the loan that Bain used to take them over. And "selling high" wasn't required, because Bain never had to pay back the money they borrowed, their target company had to. Bain was there to extract millions in management fees out of withering companies for years, then get out when the "harvest" was done. |

"Harvest" doesn't imply that you intend for a company to survive. In fact I'd say that it was very much what all venture capitalists do. Finance a company's start up; ensure it is well managed and sell your shares when it is profitable. "Well managed" is not necessary, and "profitable" never has to come. |
