Bain also makes money from its successful business clients that grew its employees.

I'm curious, how will Occupy Wall Street be a force in the general election when they don't support elections and no politician will directly acknowledge them?

See, this is how the 1% got that way, by the sweat of their brow. Or, perhaps, by having millions of dollars roll in every year for doing nothing, nothing, nothing at all.

@1, tell that to the thousands of former employees of KB Toys or Clear Channel, who were laid off after Bain bought them. That's what Bain DOES: buy companies, ditch thousands of employees, sell on.

As long as there's still time to remind everyone where Goldman Sachs Presents Barack Obama got most of his financial advisors from, I guess that's cool.

So you're saying Bain is a NET destroyer of jobs? Please show the data. It makes headlines when a company restructures then fires a large group all at once. Individual hirings due to injections of capital from companies like Bain are incorrectly ignored.

Which part of Outsourcing == Lost US Jobs don't you GET, @5?

@3: So what? I lost a job in 2010 due to corporate restructring and Bain was not involved.

@8 Thanks for providing something specific regarding the net impact of PE firms. I'll take a look. Lazy-brained troll is unfair - the onus is on the OP to cite something to support their claim.
