Here's a fast recap of a few things Romney has done....
After going to both Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School at the same time, he passed the Michigan bar, but never worked as an attorney. As a venture-capitalist, Romney's first major business deal involved investing in a start-up office supply company with one store in Massachusetts that sold office supplies. That company, called Staples, now has over 2,000 stores and employs over 90,000 people.
Romney, or his company, Bain Capital (using what became known as the "Bain Way"), would go on to perform the same kinds of business miracles again and again, with companies like Domino's, Sealy, Brookstone, Weather Channel, Burger King, Warner Music Group, Dollarama, Home Depot Supply, and many others. Got your calculators handy? Let's recap. Volunteer campaign worker for his dad's gubernatorial campaign 1 year. Unpaid intern in Governor's office 8 years. Mormon missionary in Paris 2 years. Unpaid bishop and stake president for his church 10 years. No salary as president of the Olympics 3 years. No salary as MA governor 4 years. That's a grand total of 28 years of unpaid service to his country, his community and his church.
Romney did NOT inherit his money from George Romney of American Motors (Nash Rambler) fame....He has made it all by his lonesome.
He is the 5th Mormon to run for pres...the first being Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon church, who was the first candidate for pres. to ever be assassinated.
