AP: Romney To Join Son’s Investment Firm



PEMA LEVY 11:42 AM EST, WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 28, 2012

Mitt Romney will join Solamere Capital, the investment firm co-founded by son Tagg Romney, former aides told the Associated Press.

Former aides confirm that Romney is expected to move into an office at the Boston-area venture capital firm Solamere Capital. The firm was founded by his oldest son, Tagg Romney, and Spencer Zwick, who served as his presidential campaign's national finance chairman.

to figure out how to make more money?

make the world a better place? is that on the agenda or just during evenings and weekends?

is that off the table because he was only going to do that as President? as private citizen, there's no motivation?

..."At an August selectmen’s meeting, according to a video posted by the Belmont Citizen-Herald, Tagg Romney stood and told the board, “I certainly would not have built my house if I thought there was a possibility of a hospice going there. The value of all our homes will decrease dramatically.”...

It figures. What a bullet we dodged!

He is 60 something. I guess actually helping people with his time and money is out of the question, like how President Clinton and Carter have done. Scumbag.

He will be a wage earner after all.

Perhaps the job will be outsourced after he is hired.
