Romney had many fired but his supporters say he did crearte 89K jobs at Staples
DONT BUY THIS BULLCRAP
An associate came to Romney w/ the idea that they could go into areas where they had 10 to 20 stationary stores, printing shops, & small office supply stores & put in one big store & undercut their prices & drive them out of business -- & do it w/ 1/3 the # of employees they had
SCM had 88 million in sales with an 18 percent profit at that plant, before Ampad bought it. Ampad wanted a 25 percent profit and took the other 7 percent from the employees. SCM's typewriter division was in distress, not the paper division. This plant was in business for 103 years before Ampad under Bain Capitol bought the plant, and closed it.
As governor, Mitt Romney raised business taxes by 20%, a $309 million dollar increase, which killed tens of thousands of jobs. Under Romney's progressive anti-business policies, the state of Massachusetts ranked 47th in the nation in job creation. The man is no job creator. He's a job killer. All Romney wants is power for himself.
A lot of info is left out. Mead Paper owned Am Pad and announced they would cut 1,000 jobs during a two year period. Bain steps in and takes over in 1992. It was 2000 when they went bankrupt, a year after Romney left. AM Pad couldn't remain profitable with the current union contracts and needed to renegotiate. Instead of coming to the table to talk, the union went on strike. The strike caused the plant to close. Workers lost jobs when an unprofitable company went out of business.
@nikkiru2u If a company is losing it's shirt, the choice is simple, reduce costs or go out of business. Many unions have become a parasite that succeeds in killing its host.
@bman546 Tne poarasite in this situation was Bain Capital. They moved in, sucked out the assets from the company, looted the pension plan, and walked away with millions. Then, they left the government to cover the pension liabilities they'd looted out the assets from.
So they were n ot only a parasite to this company and its workers, but also to the taxpayer. This isn't just crony capitalism and vulture capitalism, it's welfare capitalism.
Just watched Special Report and now Lou Dobbs on Fox. The defense of Romney is sickening. Why is it unfair to pick on the establishment RINO? Listen to their whining. They didn't complain when their media goons threw mud on every other front runner. They said if the candidates can't handle it, they won't handle Obie. Does that mean Mitt can't handle Obie? You bet it does. Overthrow the Republican elite and elect Ron Paul! They kicked out Steele, we can do it to Priebus.
Yeah...by 1997 computers had pretty much replaced all those typewriters and notepads, but hey...lets blame that evil Mitt Romney.
