Please break it down in depth too.
1) If the investor in Bain hordes the profit. Say, like Mitt Romney has done, with hundreds of millions of dollars. He invests some of it. But he also has 9 figure accounts parked in the Caymans and in Switzerland. He hasn't put all of his $ back into investments yielding jobs .....
2) ... speaking of which, not all investments yield jobs. There are plenty of way to invest money into financial instruments that will never result in a job being created, anywhere. The assumption that all investment dollars end up in an industry that produces good or services is stupid....
3) ... and equally as stupid is the assumption you make that, of those dollars that do end up in a good or service producing position, the result is an equal or greater number of income producing positions. A far cry from the truth.
4) Many of the dollars that are invested, if they are in fact invested at all, and if they are in fact invested in goods or service producing industries, are invested overseas. That may, or may not, have any effect on consumption, production, etc., here in the US.
No one is saying that Romney did anything wrong. He can light a match to the money he made, for all I care. He is not obliged to invest a cent in anything.
But if his argument is that Obama's policies have not created jobs -- and that he has created jobs at Bain and has better business sense at Bain such as to make him a better president -- then both the record of what he did at Bain and what he did with the money are both fair game.
It was Romney who made the argument. Try as hard as he might -- accompanied by numbskulls like yourself -- to try to portray these questions as pitting capitalism versus some other -ism, Romney invited the criticism.
