"AFTER - he claims to have left, Romney "continued to draw a SIX-figure salary from Bain Capital."

[kpete]

Romney told attendees at a fundraiser in Montana on Wednesday to tell their friends that "if they want more stuff from government, tell them to go vote for the other guy — more free stuff."

The Globe notes that after he claims to have left, Romney "continued to draw a six-figure salary from Bain Capital." Does that count as "free stuff?"

“It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to say he was technically in charge on paper but he had nothing to do with Bain’s operations,” Karmel continued. “Was he getting paid? He’s the sole stockholder. Are you telling me he owned the company but had no say in its investments?”

1. SIX-figure salary

I predict it wont't make a difference. Romney's best campaign strategy is "I'm not Obama" and that is how he will win votes.

4. Thanks for your concern

5. Actually, all we know is that the salary was $100,000 or more.

That's due to the type of SEC filing that had to be done. It actually could've been 7 or even 8 figures.

6. "I'm not Obama" = "I'm not Black" and it might work with the racists but ooops

They hate LDS too (check FR anti-Romney & anti-Obama rants) so he's gonna have to do a little better than that.

To reasonable people Romney has to prove he's BETTER than Obama and not just running for Bush's third term and he seems incapable of doing any of these things because of all his secrets and stonewalling.

2. I bet Romney's confused about the fuss over a lousy $100K/yr

From his 'unique' perspective, a mere $100K is practically a token. This is the same guy who considered $300K for speaking fees to be a very modest amount of money.

Not that he deserves a pass on it, but I just bet in his mind he wasn't "employed", in the same way you or I wouldn't consider getting $100/yr to be "employment"

3. Salary, or investment returns, .....

... like dividends, interest, fees, etc.? There's a difference, you know.

Investment returns are not considered to be "free stuff" to most people with IRAs or 401ks.
