Bane the Destroyer @ Bane Capital in Midtown NYC

If you were in NYC today maybe you got to see Bane the Destroyer menacing midtown and 99%er’s. Bane’s booming voice boasted about slashed paychecks, gutted workforces, obsolete health care, busted unions and jobs killed by the thousands. Bain Capital, founded by Mitt Romney, is allegedly renowned for putting thousands out of work, withholding benefits, and offering the lowest of low wages while earning its investors millions. Read what the people were chanting below.

“I’m a working mother of three, $8 an hour just isn’t going to work!” Shantees Jones- a former employee of Bain-owned Burlington Coat Factory, was recently fired from her low-wage part-time job for standing up for her rights after being denied health benefits. Felipe Idrovo, employed part-time at two cleaning companies in order to support himself and his brain-damaged brother, recounts the physical toil it takes just to barely get by. “[Bain Capital] doesn’t care about jobs, they don’t care about people like me. They’re motivated 100% by profit.”
