        Bain Capital. This is how venture capitalists make their money. They take out loans,saddle the company with debt, then keep the money.

        Amazingly, Bain Capital did the same to KB Toys, similarly driving that toy retailer to bankruptcy... yet learned exactly nothing from it.

        Exactly! I texted my friend and said the same thing. Also why I scoffed at Romney in 2012 as a “job creator”.

        Obviously they did not have the right financial advisers to show them how to turn that massive debt into a public equity offering #TajMahal

        it's sad, while a bit hilarious that GOP types tell us about helping middle class, while all they care about is helping rich

        democrats have their own big issues - but their policies, like obamacare and dodd-frank try to help people who arent super rich

        #Trump and Republicans call them job creators, cut their taxes, and tax their gains at lower rate than income tax. They are thieves.
