As every good businessman knows — including Governor Romney with whom I had been associated as a limited partner at Bain Capital Ventures —the soundness of a company and its ability to create jobs does not rest on lower taxes for the company or its senior management.
If Governor Romney and congressional Republicans, including Senator Scott Brown, continue to insist on renewing the special Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans, it will do nothing to create jobs. It is a fiction, pure and simple, that taxing so-called “job creators” will have an adverse effect on the economy.

Thank you Mr. Hiatt.
Thank you for the truth. My only suggestion: send copies to the principal newspapers of the swing states - Ohio, New Hampshire, Virginia, etc. Thank you also for the many ways in which you gave your own funds to help the people of Massachusetts. I still remember reading about your contributions to one group or another during the years when you were active re charitable causes. I remember that your company was known as a great place to work; employees were always treated fairly. After our personal needs are met, we have an obligation to help others who can't meet their basic needs. I know some people abuse the system, but that shouldn't stop us from helping those in need.
