Hypocrisy at $450,000/week
While Republican Mitt Romney says he'll do something about sending jobs to China, Americans have noticed that Romney's investment in Bain companies that send jobs to China are making some nice profits for Romney. As Romney talks about saving American jobs, he is still involved in Bain and their outsourcing. How else does Romney explain his $450,000/week from Bain?
Truthout has the details about the latest Bain Capital outsourcing of American jobs at Sensata:
On the campaign trail Romney says we shouldn't ship jobs to China and should "crack down" on China trade problems. But he refuses to help or even meet with the Sensata workers whose jobs are being shipped to China right now.
Why the refusal to line up his actions with his promises? A must-read, must-read, must-read news report explains how part of Romney's $450,000/week income comes from ... get this ... shipping jobs to China!...
See the article at the NY Times about Bain's outsourcing and Romney's profits.
Those people that think Romney will create American jobs have to wonder why Romney won't even bother to stop the latest outsourcing of American jobs from Sensata.
