Who's creating jobs?

Posted: August 17, 2012 - 8:02pm

Under Romney, Bain Capital invested private capital in the following companies: AMC Entertainment, Burger King, Burlington Coat Factory, Clear Channel, Dominos, Dunkin Donuts, Guitar Center, Sports Authority, Staples, Toys-R-Us, and Warner Music.

Under Obama, your taxpayer dollars were invested in the following companies: Solyndra (bankrupt), Ener I (bankrupt), Beacon Power (bankrupt), Amonix Solar (bankrupt), Spectra Watt (bankrupt) and Eastern Energy (bankrupt).

All the above bankrupt companies were also Obama campaign contributors.

More change we can do without.

Maybe you have not heard about Trickle Down Economics

And the GOP cornerstone of that time tested tradition of tax cuts. If you continue to reduce & eliminate income taxes the Job Creators become motivated to put their "Investments " in off shore bank accounts.
Therefore creating jobs in the travel industry.
Pretty certain a much better choice to "invest" in would have been something more stable like a buggy whip company.
I was trying to recall the names of the 2 WI companies Paul Ryan wrote letters to the Commerce Dept about requesting stimulus money.
When a reporter asked that question ,Paul Ryan retroactively forgot ,then denied he ever did that ?
Makes you wonder if Mr Ryan will ever take some credit for saving the American auto industry ? Or the Mittster has told him to have another memory lapse retroactively.

Hmmmm2

I wonder, in those comment rules, if there is one on how
big of capital letters you can use and how often.
Someone is angry and yelling at us it seems

Or is it another way to obtain a CAPITAL GAIN?
I don't think it has anything to do with CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
It certainly isn't a CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT.

I don't think Scary worries about looking stupid, FNB...

...if he did, he wouldn't be so oblivious to all the jobs Bain Capital not only created through their investments and business consulting, but also to all the jobs that were saved or extended beyond what they would have been without their interventions.
