As reported in the article “As absent CEO, he kept reins, bargained hard on severance” (Page A1, July 20), Mitt Romney, in explaining why he balked at the idea of taking charge of the Olympics, said about his job at Bain Capital, “How could I walk away from the golden goose, especially now that it was laying even more golden eggs?”
It is interesting that one of his big pitches while running for president has been about how he created jobs. My guess is that the “golden eggs” he was talking about had nothing to do with creating jobs but everything to do with the obscene profits he was making for his investors.
