How many of those 80,000 Staples jobs Romney created resulted in mom and pop stationary stores

38. The point is not whether what Romney did at Bain was legitimate or not

The point is that Romney cannot have it both ways. He cannot claim that his experience as a businessman equips him with the skills to create jobs for America, and then complain that pointing out that his record at Bain in terms of creating jobs is ambiguous at best is an attack on capitalism. The downside of the creation of prosperity by the capitalist system is all of the people who get hurt by all of the "creative destruction" involved. This is not to indict the capitalists, or even the system. It is to point out that the elected official's goal of jobs creation is fundamentally different from the businessman's goal of making money. The two goals don't have to conflict, but the achievement of one does not guarantee the achievement of the other.
