He's said to have invested in companies that were pioneers in outsourcing U.S. jobs to low-wage countries. Although the attacks seem to be working -- a July 2 NBC News/The Wall Street Journal poll shows that 33 percent of Americans have a negative opinion of Romney's business record compared with 18 percent who have a positive opinion -- they do not represent the reality of capitalism because a capitalist's main goal is not to create jobs. The main purpose of a firm such as Bain Capital in a free market capitalist system is to maximize profits, not to maximize revenues, sales or employment. |
