Mitt Romney got a tax break on 2011 return from a firm shipping Illinois jobs to China

President Obama has been mocking Romney recently, over his tough talk on China. Here’s yet another reason why — one more American company and its employees harvested to China:

Mitt Romney Gets Tax Break Off Firm Sending Jobs To China

Sensata Technologies is a healthy manufacturing company that employs nearly 200 workers at a factory in northern Illinois. The company has become the focus of national attention because it has been taken over by Bain Capital, which plans to shut the factory down, lay off the workers, and outsource the production to China before the end of the year.

The workers have pleaded with GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, the founder of Bain Capital, to exert his considerable influence to save their jobs. Romney still makes millions each year in income from Bain. So far, he has declined to weigh in, and the factory is scheduled to close by the end of the year.

While the workers and the town may suffer, Romney himself has done well as a result of Bain’s work with the company.
