Regarding Gary Ellis' letter on June 10, “Obama's policies killing private job creation”:

survey. Go to the Private Sector tab and see how Romney really functions as a business person. It lists at least four businesses and how Bain Capital bought them out, then ran up huge debt, made the companies pay him first and then had to file bankruptcy. Romney and his company made millions and at the same time put thousands of companies and workers on the chopping block.
“Private wealth is the driver of job creation,” Ellis stated. It did not create jobs in these cases, it only took away.
I'll be happy to live with another four years of President Barack Obama. I believe we will be far better off at the end of 2016 than if we allow Romney to become president and do to the nation what he did when he was at Bain Capital. Romney shows absolutely no respect to the middle-class, hardworking Americans.
