In reply to the discussion: David Corn says this is just the first wave of Bain exposures [View all]DevonRex
(22,541 posts)One thing I do know is that this is way bigger than what has come out so far.
I have never seen a campaign so confident before. Have you? There is definitely a there there and probably several theres.
Corn is right. This is the first wave and he is determined to pursue his wherever it leads. We already have 3 countries involved: China, South Korea and Iran - just in companies that Bain owned overseas. The first 2 took American jobs. The 3rd is a chemical company in Tehran (doesn't exactly fit his constituency does it?).
Then there are the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, and Switzerland that we know of where he shelters his money from taxes.
He wants smaller government, doesn't pay his fair share of taxes, yet WE pick up the tab in the form of government insurance to pay the pensions for the employees of the companies he looted with borrowed money with hardly ANY investment of his own. If it's not illegal on its face it's certainly unethical and is exactly the opposite of what he claims to believe now. HE is the fraud even if we can't prove specific transactions were fraudulent. But hopefully we can. Great idea, you!!
