The Ultimate Winner

He "destroyed" their lives? How? Was your life destroyed by being laid off? Is that why you sit around and post here?
For every person laid off at a Bain company about 100 continued in their jobs or were hired.
But that's not true.
A lot of those people worked in small towns where that plant or that factory was the only decent employer.
Some of those folks had serious medical issues as a result of occupational hazards, such as GST, and found their medical coverage was cut off.
And frankly, as far as the jobs Bain created, even Romney is running away from those numbers. He's not claiming Bain created any jobs... because they didnt'.
The companies Bain took on were failing inside out, the plants weren't making money and they shut down operations in some areas to help it to become profitable. Some worked, according to Bain over 70% of the time and the rest failed. It is business, some you win and some you lose and in the business world, failure is the most common road.
