So Romney made over $100,000 in 2001 & 2002 for doing absolutely nothing at Bain?

Rachel Maddow says it very well in this video.
Explains why Mitt Romney's political career depends on him leaving Bain in 1999.
His campaign moto has repeatedly been that he will create more jobs. Yet there were massive job losses, layoffs, bankrupcies, and outsourcing of jobs after 1999.
She also talks about how Romney actually used the reverse argument, that he indeed was a resident of Massachusetts during this same time in order to be allowed to run for Governor of Massachusetts. He insisted that he needed to make return visits to Massachusetts repeatedly for "business trips".
Hmm . . . What business?

1. Actually, the figure is "$100,000. . OR MORE

The line that was checked was labeled $100,000+

[Greybnk48]

11. Yes, I saw that too. A MINIMUM of $100,000.

Rachel was bugging me last night by saying $100,000 when it said "at least" $100,000. Since she's smarter than me, I assume the actual figure is irrelevant to her argument.

2. That figure is the minimum he would make. No maximum limit to it.

3. I made the same mistake

The form clearly states OVER $100,000. The media keeps saying 100k, including Rachel, and it sticks in our head. I made the same mistake yesterday even after seeing the form that clearly stated over 100k.

4. I'm sure he made hundreds of thousands a year, if not millions

And of course, if you're being paid a million dollars by a company of which you are President and CEO, you're never going to call them, visit them, or try to have any input in making sure the money keeps flowing.

[pathansen]

9. Yeah, while there were massive job losses after 1999

with layoffs, bankruptcies, jobs outsourced, etc. by businesses managed by Bain.

[Spazito]

5. There is NO way it was only $100,000., my bet is it was....

in the multiple millions per year. It is the form that doesn't require specificity beyond the $100,000 and greater and, no doubt, Romney and others like him just love that lack of specificity.

6. He Perjured Himself To Run For Governor Of Massachusetts, Sir, That Much Is Blindingly Obvious

"Romney loves America like a tick loves a dog."

7. I'd like someone to pay me

$100,000 for nothing.
It would clear my student debt.

[Bluerthanblue]

10. hell, I like someone to pay me

that for actually doing something.

$100,000 is a whole lot of money in my world.

[a la izquierda]

12. Yeah, I mean I'd work for it and all...

but I'll take it for nothing too, like a lot of these Romney types.

[orwell]

8. I guess that's the "free stuff"...

...he lectured the NAACP about...

[JI7]

13. he probably considers that to be pocket change

[DavidDvorkin]

14. It's the way of the 1%

Make vast amounts of money doing nothing while complaining about the lazy 99%.
