Management consulting company Bain (founded by Mitt Romney) bought Toys R Us and then used heir credit to sink them into debt. Even in profitable years, their debt disabled any possibility of updating stores and improving technology. The “greed is good” bunch really screwed up a lot of companies and the economy.
He could be a warehouse worker, a customer service representative or a customer support representative! minimum wage is $7.25 an hour – that’s about $15,080 a year – the average Congress member gets paid $174,000 a year – 10 times as much as the minimum wage worker. Who do you think works ten times harder? The warehouse worker or a Congress person? Who works ten times as many hours? Who actually finishes ten times the amount of work?
Very few actually work for Amazon. Most are contract employees who work part time out of employment agencies. It keeps the costs down for Amazon as they don’t have to pay the actual workers any benefits. What a country.
Romney hasn’t been a part of Bain for years – so his earlier involvement has nothing to do with this. Mud slinging is all you have: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bain_Capital#1999%E2%80%932002:_Romney_departure_and_political_legacy
