1. Really? Since when has any CEO been held responsible for what

his corporation has done?

[RedStateLiberal]

2. Exactly!

Besides, what kind of so-called "great businessman" keeps his name on a company that he has no control over? If they did anything illegal during that time he'd be SCREWED.

Rmoney is clearly lying to cover up the outsourcing, killing jobs and very questionable investments (aborted fetus disposal) he made at Bain. His record as a businessman is his only qualification to be president so he desperately tries to hide the inconvenient facts about what he actually did as a businessman.

3. Lewis Black had a great suggestion on his special "Rules Of Enragement"

"Don't want another Enron? Here's what you need to do: if you run a company and it can't explain in one sentence what it does - then it's illegal."

I'd be willing to bet good money that Bain Capital can't do that.

4. Martha Stewart went to jail for less

Mitt is so full of mendacity and it's starting to unravel all around him.
This is pure entertainment.

5. Well, you can, but you can't also claim to be a business whiz

And you can't take credit for what you say are the good things the company did.

6. His tax returns would show he was OPERTIONALY involved with Bain, rMoney wont show them

7. Not sure about that.

The tax rate for the Bain officers actual salary--if they got any (which strikes me as unlikely)--would be for investment income, not earned income. This is because of a "quirk" in the law that applies to this kind of investment company and, well, pretty much only to this kind of investment company--all the officers are investors, and all the income is from investment. (Yes, that tax rate is what the law says is appropriate; and, yes, it's a quirk, one that's been argued against by more than one progressive, for pretty good reasons.)

My W-2s and 1099s show numbers, but not my job title and certainly not my responsibilities.
