It has been a few days since I have ranted or spouted (as we call it here), but I want open the week with a little verbage on this whole Mitt Romney / Bain Capital situation. Mitt Romney was a very successful person at Bain Capital. He made a signficant amount of his wealth from that job and that is a good thing. I am not sure why people want to degrade his success or any person that has done well. Did everything that Bain Capital did during his tenor fit what common middle class folks seems right or makes sense..probably not, but that is the world of private equity and finance. This world of finance and banking is not the "cleanest" or most transparent business in the world, but it does serve a large purpose in the global economy.
The larger point here is that we are a nation of educated, smart, forward thinking and passionate people. We should stop making people feel bad for being successful and be honest as to why we do that.
