Interesting Bain Capital Issues

  • Tuesday, September 4, 2012

The president and his accomplices in the McMedia would have us believe that the inveterate profiteers at Bain Capital grew wealthy buying companies and firing the employees, trampling middle-class types like union workers, teachers, and retirees along the way.

Delroy Murdock's New York Post article, "Look Who Parks Their Cash at Bain", tells us that by rescuing failing companies and starting new ones the "Bain Crime family" enriched the pension plans of: 

California State Teachers Retirement Ssytem

Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund

Indiana Public Retirement System

Iowa Public Employees’ Retirement System

Los Angeles Fire and Police Pension System

Maryland State Retirement and Pension System

Employees’ Retirement System of Nevada

State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio

Pennsylvania State Employees’ Retirement System

Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System

and the august Oprah Winfrey Foundation

Murdock asks why would Demo-friendly government-union leaders and university presidents allow Bain to oversee their precious assets. Interesting question, indeed.
