Why is Romney avoiding responsibility for his time at Bain?

Bain is just another example of how the rich get to play the game by a set of different rules.

It's different living life with wealth and assests verses credit and debt.

numbers dont lie. steel dynamics bought four local business here in Roanoke VA. although they did not out source any jobs, they brought new hires at far lower wages. then made it rough on older employees trying to force them to quit.
point is local and state papers on file will show a connection with his tax papers.
as i said numbers dont lie

Does NOt want American public to know the true measure of his wealth, how he attained it, how much he did/didn't pay in taxes, his various shady deals with Bain, with his family and the Mormon Church. He is trying desperately to cover up the various duplicitous statements he has made over the years regarding what he did and when he did it.

Is this a serious question? It goes without saying. The guy is scum and he's trying to distance himself from the things he's done. His whole campaign is a joke, he's the right-wingers guy against The President that's really all there is to it. The racist Fascists will vote for him for that reason alone. There's nothing of any actual substance to the guy that has anything to do with the VAST majority of the a american people, he is absolute anathema to the 99%'s lives. He is only for the 1%ers.

follow the money.....

Well, let's see: how many people have lost their livelihoods, their insurance, their pensions under his watch? How many people are now in subsistence jobs at Staples or Sports Authority because of him?

Watching the media vetting of this man, I can see from the mans life timeline that he was thinking of this position long ago. And knew that it would take mass-quantities of cash to fulfill this dream. His father was too nice a guy to make it to the POTUS chair, and Mittens knew that some of his activities might conjure up a less-than-appealing image should his dream come closer to a reality. But he had to be more aggressive (hair cutting incident), and more of a bully to cement his place in history.
Yes, it is very unpopular, in the current climate, to aspire to be like Mitt...even though we as a country managed to promote behaviors like his, and the rest of the vulture/venture capitalists out there with our zeal to "create wealth" (as one of my Republican friends likes to call it). Heck, my physics professor once said that nothing in this world is ever created anymore, as it is all already here. We just manage to reallocate / re-purpose / redistribute (like that one?) all these resource - even money.
He can't end up looking bad to the independents and fence-sitters, or face their collective outcry from discovering how he made those millions. But we've seen through the distractions and magic tricks. He Is Toast.

Because he is running for POTUS and he wants to whitewash his past work history.

Romney, the self proclaimed business guru, that manages several businesses around the world claims he doesn't even know where is own tax returns are, really? This may come as a shock, (lol), but the guy is a corporate criminal. He knows it, the repubs know it, and most importantly, the Obama campaign knows it.

All of the posts prior to this one is correct. Romney has shown himself to be a thief, a liar, a money grubbing outsourcer, vulture capitalist. But I believe it goes a bit further on why Romney avoids his responsibility for his time at Bain. It's because he lives his life in avoidance. And why should he do anything differently when their seems to be very minor consequence for it. He gives half-ass explanations, that are so riddled with lies about Bain, about his time as Governor, about every issue. He speaks as if people are stupid to believe what comes out of his mouth. I am flabbergasted that anyone can support Romney. He has no principles. I believe his lies to be so pathologic, he is not only criminal, but mental! He actually believes the shit he says.

An old adage: A Liar is a Thief.

Because he's a politician. Avoidance is a requirement.

It is simply not believable to think that any executive would take full responsibility and liability for a corporation by signing his name on SEC documents, and at the same time, not know the what was going on with the money. Mr. Romney wants to pretend he had no knowledge of the dealings of his own corporation simply because he knows he is responsible for earning money at the expense of others. He doesn't want us to hold him responsible for pensions stolen, health insurance hijacked, homes lost and dreams smashed. I don't blame him. I wouldn't want people to know me by the lives I destroyed if I were Romney either.
