Workers at Bain-owned plant appeal to Romney to save their jobs
Andy Sullivan

<...>
As a major investor in Sensata, Romney could gain from an outsourcing move that is likely to cut costs and increase the company's presence in emerging markets.
Romney owns at least $7.8 million in eight Bain funds that collectively hold 51 percent of Sensata's shares, according to a disclosure report he released in June.
Romney earned between $1.4 million and $9 million in 2011 from dividends, interest and capital gains from those funds, which also invest in other companies, the report shows.
<...>
It is not possible to say how much Romney has made from Sensata directly because private-equity firms typically do not release detailed financial statements.

If your whole aim is to amass as much money as is humanly possible, outsourcing is a fine way to do so. Along with anything else that can be made to turn a profit, like medical waste and abusing teenagers. Why not?
