62. Here is the information you need about Bain and Romney.

And the source is reliable -- Bloomberg News.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-07-15/romney-s-bain-yielded-private-gains-socialized-losses.html

Romney borrowed huge amounts of money against the assets of a few of the companies he bought during the 1990s, ruined the companies, fired the employees (mercilessly), stiffed creditors and took enormous profits. That is an essential and repeated part of his "business experience."

We don't want the country to be managed in that way. We had enough of that borrow and steal mentality under Reagan and Bush II. Never again.

The hullabaloo over Cutter and Romney and Bain's tax returns is just the beginning. When Americans become aware of what Romney did to some of the companies he bought, they won't want a thing to do with him.
