Bain Capital 12' = Bad ; Bain Capital 16'= Good ?

I know in 2012 Sen. Booker and Harold Ford Jr defended Bain Capital while other Democrats had a serious problems with firms like Bain.

In 2016 there seems to be change of heart, and it bothers me

Have we forgotten what firms like Bain Captial have done ?

Have we forgotten the thousands of jobs lost while Bain reaped major cash ?

How can a Democrat say they are fighting for the average person while pocketing money from people who only want to see a car elevator in their garage

Did you hear the one about KB Toys, it's a classic?

How about Sealy (bedding) - it's a hoot.

They love to buy companies, take out zillions of loans out on them then leave the carcasses on the floor for everyone else to clean up.

I can totally see Hill, Bill, Mitt LOVING up on some Bain Capital.

I know I know I know, but it is a pet peeve of mine and I can't just pretend it doesn't bother me.

Apostrophes and years - "In informal writing, it is acceptable to indicate a year with only the last two digits preceded by an apostrophe (e.g., the class of ’85, pop music from the ’80s)."
