Romney wants China jobs back in USA, but as CEO of Bain he sent jobs to China

In a speech in Ohio today Paul Ryan said: "Let me tell you, on day one of my administration I will label China a currency manipulator, we gotta get those jobs back and get trade to be fair,". But, his running mate, Mitt Romney, owns stock in a company that Bain owns, that is going to close the US plant sending the jobs to China. Romney claimed $871,000 from sales of stock in this company the last two years (in true Romney fashion he used the tax system to minimize his tax liability as much as humanly possible using charitable trust). The works have pleaded with Romney to save their jobs, but Romney hasn't done anything to stop the move.
If Romney cared so much for American jobs, and wants to bring them back, then why doesn't he stop the company that he founded, still makes money, and owns stock in from moving these jobs to China?

Mitt Romney is a shareholder, and founder of a company that is moving jobs to China. He is now say we shouldn't do what he is planning on doing. His actions and his words don't match (I am sure we are all shocked by this!!!!!).

The explanation for this is that Mitt Romney is a politician.He wants people to believe that he wants to bring jobs sent to China back to the US as he knows that this would be very popular amongst the electorate.Though in reality he is quite willing to send jobs to China if it is in his financial interests.Not that I'm singling out Romney as a hypocrite most politicians are they say what is popular but do what is in their interest.

YU, why does that product made in China only cost $5.00, and why does the product made in the US cost $10? The product made in China is subsidized by the government, made with the cheapest labor in the world, and doesn't employ any Americans.
Personally, I do, and have continued to buy products made in the USA, even if they cost more because I don't support communist!!!!!! Unfortunately, if we elected Mitt Romney, we will have the first president that openly supports communism.
Ronald Reagan would be ashamed of the party he loved so much!!!!

a question, two same goods, one of them made in China is about five dollors, the other one made in US is about ten dollors, which one will you buy?
Maybe this question is idiot, or maybe idiot's test. I don't know.

The answer to your question is obvious that if he doesn't move the jobs to China, he will be out of business and unable to be a "clown" making to the stands for his hypocrite speech.
I am sorry but I simply despise people like him that just makes frivolous and hypocrite speeches. Yet, I am amazed that his supporters at the rallies could be equally unrealistic and blind.
Is this America? Really?

It reminds me of something recently.
A certain vice presidential candidate who publicly denounced the stimulus, but requested stimulus funds twice.

Lady, do you know that Ryan has only had two bills the he wrote pass in 13 years? It is a shame we don't pay our representatives based on their work.

I wonder how could this one guy just won the polls in the first place when there are better republican candidates out there. some said they weren't given enough exposure by the media or some corporate lackey over there. obviously some one in power out there doesn't want to have the "right person" elected to office and in fact choosing only those who are popular and who got the right money to do it.

Move back? How? Give a worker 3000 dollars to make goods, whick made in China just need 500 dollars and more cheaper. Who will pay more money just for same goods? Idiot?

Paul Ryan is the one saying we need to move jobs that have left the US back to the US. Why are wages so low in China? First off they devalue their currency, then they subsidize industry, the have NO environmental policy so their water and land is a mess, and they have state run health care, so they don't have to worry about health care cost. But, this is the same reason that Romney is supporting this US companies move to China. If you are going to say "we need to bring these jobs back", then your ACTIONS should match your words.
ROMNEY'S AREN'T!!!!!!!

Let me get this straight: You THINK that a man, who has shown that they only thing he cares about is MONEY, will put tariffs on a country that he is PERSONALLY making money off of, hurting his own pocket book? Can you please explain this to me again like I am a four year old, because your logic, and Romney's track record aren't on the same path!!!

I don't think so.
you want job back, don't want charity, right? Do I make a mistake about you?
Yes, Romney said "we need to bring these job back", but this doesn't mean he will do charity. Do you understand what I just said?
so he said he will ask goods made in China to pay more tax, so he said he will put China into the list of control-exchange-rate country.
Do you understand why romney want to do those things?
