Consider this article from the Nov. 12, 2011 issue of the NY Times: “After a Romney Deal, Profits and Then Layoffs.”
Nevermind that the last sentence of the article (which is lengthy and filled with heart-wrenching anecdotes about $80,000 per year employees suffering wage cuts of $1 per hour and laid off janitors attempting suicide) reads:
[This is the guy who is going to lead the Republican fight to renew the Bush Tax Cuts?]
Do you believe the mainstream media will highlight Romney’s successes at Bain (such as growing Staples into an office supply industry leader)?
Or will smear merchants like the New York Times concentrate on the messy parts, painting Romney as another “Greed is good” Gordon Gekko?
The answer is obvious.
Romney is the prototypical poster boy of the evil, Wall Street 1% that class-warring Obama is gearing up to fight with well-funded lies and smears of his own.
Six months from now Occupy Wall Street will be occupying Mitt Romney. Count on it.

“Bain’s strategy, as painful as it was with plant closings and layoffs, had ultimately worked, executives said. The bankruptcy ‘does muddy the story,’ said Mr. Wolsey-Paige, the former Dade executive. ‘Over all,’ he said, ‘it was very positive.’”I know little to nothing about private equity financing. The average American voter knows even less. I do know that capitalism is messy and that at Bain Romney played a high risk, high reward game with other people’s money, earning upwards of $250-million in the process.
