Government worker pension funds are the chief beneficiaries of Bain’s economic stewardship. Following funds have entrusted
some $1.56 billion to Bain:
* Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund ($2.2 million)
* Indiana Public Retirement System ($39.3 million)
* Iowa Public Employees’ Retirement System ($177.1 million) While many unions, universities, foundations and
* The Los Angeles Fire and Police Pension System ($19.5 million) millions of Democrats benefited from Romney’s Bain
* Maryland State Retirement and Pension System ($117.5 million) Capital investments, we the taxpayers lost billions
* Public Employees’ Retirement System of Nevada ($20.3 million) on Obama’s bets on failed companies.
* State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio ($767.3 million)
* Pennsylvania State Employees’ Retirement System ($231.5 million)
* Employees’ Retirement System of Rhode Island ($25 million)
* San Diego County Employees Retirement Association ($23.5 million)
* Teacher Retirement System of Texas ($122.5 million)
* Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System ($15 million)
These funds aggregate the savings of millions of unionized teachers, social workers, public-health personnel and first
responders. Many would be startled to learn that their nest eggs are incubated by the company that Romney launched.
