Been part of kids in America himself ( real life), knowing what  playing work up at the local ball field is, knowing what a cake walk to raise money at the elementary school is, or why mentioning Saturday night in you Chevrolet with your favorite girlfriend couldl make you smile, and how playing Monopoly can change your life. For you younger people, Monopoly, a board game, before computers.  This was my first introduction to capitalism.  Use strategy, have a little luck, win the game.  No one (EPA or OSHA) came in and took your money away from you.  Some times, you had to go to jail, but play smart, you win. Romney and Bain Cap only took on Failing companies, they were toast to begin with.  Good ideas, but with not enough whatever to carry though.  It was Bains bushiness structure to only look for companies that were on the way down and out, not much of a chance of recovery, and had no way to survive.  Bain was their last hope of anyone saving them, for the last resort.  Bain was able to pull something close to  75% of their fat out of the fire.  I do not know about you, but I do not buy stock in failing companies, (at least on purpose.)  I sold my Staples at $2.04/share many years ago at a loss.  I should have waited for Bain Capital to take them over, now at $11.63 after the stock splits and dividends I could have made money.  I guess I bet against Romney then.  I will not do it again, promise.Damned them Republicans trying to help make money for us lowly people like me, and adding employment for many people.  And worse yet, they paid a dividend.I have mentioned to one of my friends in the neighborhood that is a die hard Kennedy Democratic who has commentated that he can not understand why our other neighbor who is smart enough to be a manager of one of the Staples stores has not quit his job and try to get employment with the EPA to help shut down some other businesses ( toner companies , paper companies etc ) to protect our environment and help our economy,.I just cannot seem to get it across to him.  If you shut everything down, there is nothing left.  At least Romney grew up in America   I guess that is all I can use for a reason.</blockquote>
