seems to me its about bain and romney . . . . .
i dont see a single spin(more lies from the pro) other than reporting on what his company does, buy out other companies lower there cost and improve there market value then sell them to other umbrella corporations for a profit
it may not be the job creator he claims but it is a business adn not one i could ever work for . . . . . . .for many reasons like spelling and integrity . . i could never profit off someone eles's loss . . .or i would not want to make a living out of it then try and glorify my life as some sort of financial wizard . . more like a financial vulture just waiting for the weakest in the heard to die . . . which is needed
he aint evil for doing it, he just takes advantage of the market . . kinda like one crack dealer offing the other when his business gets bad

To be fair, they bought companies that were in trouble and possibly going bankrupt. So, he cut some of the jobs and spun off healthy companies still employing thousands of workers.
His ratio was something like 75% and is pretty respected in the business industry.
If you progressive anti-capitalists think it's so easy and righteous to operate a successful company that provides much higher income to workers with less profits to the shareholders and CEO's (spreading the wealth around), where ar the examples of all these businesses.
Surely you agree there are plenty of wealthy democrats in this country who preach the same progressive message as you. So where are these great successes?

the OP's disingenuous implication is that when bain "harvests" their investment this is a destructive process, but it is NOT neccesarily so. every year i "Harvest" grapes off vines that have been growing for decades, "harvest" apples from trees that have been growing since i was knee high, and travel out toii the foothills to "harvest" blackberries that have been growing there since the 1900's at least. "harvesting" is not necessarily destructive. bain did plenty of combine row crop harvests where they simply rolled over the field chopped everything down, threshed it and sold it to the highest bidder leaving only stubble and bare earth in it's place, but some companies need that treatment. some companies demand such treatment. they cant all be winners, they cant all last forever, and eventually even apple trees stop giving fruit, wither and die all by themselves. thats why you cant buy buggy whips any more, nor can you easily acquire a proper hunting spear, or a really good pair of silken pantaloons.
shirtwaist manufacturers, collar makers, waistcoat haberdashers, monocle shoppes, custom carriagemakers, good quality men's wiggeries, and silken cravatiers are all a thing of the past. oh how i long for those halcyon days when i could catch the next autogyro to siam and vent my depraved lusts on the ivory flesh of a nubile young oriental girl, but times change and some things must be forever lost to the past.
ohh yeah sorry, bain... yes sometimes the "Harvest" meant clearing the decks for a new business venture, sometimes it means selling it off to another company, sometimes it means an IPO and a selloff to whoever sees value in the company for sale. sometimes it is the buyout of bain by the original stockholders to return it to a privately held company. (like SC Johnson which is held privately not a public company at all which is not to say bain has shit to do with johnson, johnson is just the largest and most successful private company i could think of) in which case bain simply finances their expansion and reinvestment before they buy bain out and continue alone.

i dont think hoarding value less paper bills is success . . .thats the fallacy capitalism express's . . . .. . lots of money doesn't absolutely mean anything other than you have lots of money
