When I think of private equity, I think, for better or worse, of Mitt Romney. The former governor of Massachusetts and presidential candidate is one of the pioneers of the hollowing out of corporate America that’s destroying our country, its airlines, our sport, its uniforms and even its radio feeds... well, Mittens nonetheless is, without a question, a family man with a bedrock moral code. I can’t even begin to square this moral code with his life’s work — save his groundbreaking work on health care in the state — but he can, and I get it: We have different values, for the large part, with those values only rarely meeting at the intersection of shared humanity.
