Here Are The Former Bain Employees Raising Millions For Mitt Romney

Source: Business Insider

Among Mitt Romney's most prolific fundraisers are two dozen current and former employees of Bain Capital and its parent firm who have helped raise at least $4.5 million to help their former colleague defeat President Obama.

The Romney campaign has not disclosed the 26 current and former Bain employees as "bundlers," but USA TODAY has identified them through invitations to fundraisers where they served on the host committee.

Obama has released his list of bundlers, leading to a coordinated attack by Romney allies this week accusing the president of "political payoffs" in the form of federal grants and loans to his fundraisers. One bundler cited was California investor Steve Westly, whose company's holdings include a firm that receive money for an Energy Department program.

Romney has not released his own list of bundlers, so USA TODAY has compiled its own list of more than 1,200 from Romney press releases, lobbyist disclosures, fundraiser invitations and other news accounts.

You guys don't happen to have his tax returns, too, do ya? Be nice to see those.

The truth is that Romney's money is mostly coming from corporations and bundlers, not nice little elderly ladies sending off their check when the SS comes.

"Investing".

No doubt they are expecting a fat return. Romney will be in a position to hand out zillions of taxpayer dollars.
