Is Romney still profiting from outsourcing jobs?

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

<...>

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?
