Romney's Profit from Bain's Buyouts: Up to $20,000 Per Laid-off Worker

Romney's Profit from Bain's Buyouts: Up to $20,000 Per Laid-off Worker

"Romney himself profited handsomely from his time running Bain Capital. Although the exact details of his personal finances are not available, news reports estimate his net worth at somewhere between $190 and $250 million, much of it derived from his Bain Capital days. Very rough math might suggest that Romney made as much as $20,000 per job lost."
