"to help them realize their potential value" When a farmer "harvests" his fields, the farm does not shut down and lay off workers. They replant for the next hopefully successful season of bounty. Companies fail every day. More often than not in the early years. The next big trouble spell is major expansion. The books are full of examples where expansion killed the goose. Bain helped through that period more often than not. 50% success in keeping these companies alive for 10 more years would be a success on their part. They had 70%+ rate. Quite good in the industry. Then their was al the other Bain associates like the one in the Caymens. Sankaty Advisors, LLC. Run by Jonathan Levine. Look at the parts of Bain and you will see that if any of these people were YOUR parents, you would be just like Mitt Romney or Jonathan Levine. Funny thing about Jonathan Levine. His father was involved with Ivan Boskey and Michael Milken in the heyday of small time Wall Street shenanigans. Now people like Obama/Biden financial advisor Jon Corzine gets away with no charges when he steals who knows how many BILLION Dollars from his investors. You forget that don't you?
https://www.sankaty.com/ How is what they do a bad thing? Are $19,300,000,000 worth of savvy investors wrong? Not quite as much as Harvard's endowment of $30,700,000,000.

Plumbers and electricians. Janitors and cleaning crew. Mail room staff. Thousands of jobs not even working for directly for Sankaty. All making a living and feeding families trying to do the best they can from a company broken off of Romney's Bain. Destroy these people and business and then what?
I hear that often but never got a coherent answer to the question.
Not long ago the same people were saying "It's really funny hearing black Americans whining about oppression."
Bush had the opportunities to do it but he didn't have the balls to pull the trigger.

I guess I gave you more credit than I should have for being informed and thoughtful. http://www.heinz.com/our-company.aspx "Heinz is a $11.6 billion global company Heinz products enjoy #1 or #2 market share in more than 50 countries Heinz employs approximately 32,200 people around the globe"

@FIFA I agree on the reboot. But I think that the funny thing about American principles and ideals is that when we formulate our opinions in the present, we often still base them on the founding principles of our past (400 years ago). We couch our beliefs in terms of "is this what this country was set out to do" and that is really what I mean when i say "This country deserves better". This country does deserve better. We come from a long history of rebellion, rebuilding, and prosperity, and to sit around and let it all be washed away because we have to quibble over small issues like abortion, it is just such a shame. I know, some people think "Oh, well abortion is not a small issue! It's a HUGE issue!" well. CDC numbers from 2007 showed about 870,000 abortions in the United States. Less than 1 percent of the population of the United States. Way less than 1%. While trades of stocks on the NYSE number in the millions per day and potentially more with increases in technology and HFT. So what's the real issue? What is occurring more and is causing more damage? I would argue markets are doing more and often do more damage than the <1% of women getting abortions. But maybe that's just me.

"He didn't do that, someone else made that happen."
CNN now says they had the entire tape in 2007 and never played it all. Just about 4 minutes of 40. Catch up Frank.
