SNIP- It was the early 1990s, and the 750 men and women at Georgetown Steel were pumping out wire rods at peak performance. They had an abiding trust in management's ability to run a smart company. That allegiance was rewarded with fat profit-sharing checks. In the basement-wage economy of Georgetown, South Carolina, Sanderson and his co-workers were blue-collar aristocracy.
"We were doing very good," says Sanderson, president of Steelworkers Local 7898. "The plant was making money, and we had good profit-sharing checks, and everything was going well."
What he didn't know was that it was about to end. Hundreds of miles to the north, in Boston, a future presidential candidate was sizing up Georgetown's books.

(17,158 posts)What Mitt the Parasite did to Georgetown Steel, AMPAD, Armco and others, he'd be just as happy to do to the whole country -- so long as there's some big bucks to be made for him and his "investors" (like Goldman Sachs).

(10,942 posts)a difference in working people's lives. But Romney chose to rip those hardworking people off and leave the government holding the bag for his robbery of their retirement plans. Romney touts Staples and the Sports Authority and a restaurant chain as his successes, the problem is that Romney and Bain Capital were MINORITY, NON-MANAGEMENT participants in the successful cases where some low paying jobs were saved or created.

Like I said, I'm glad the message is getting out. This article should have as many eyes as possible.
