I noticed Bain Capital in there... let me just add that it isn't good. No cheating either. The first to guess wins bragging rights for the thread.

That may not be what he was looking for, but I'd bet my last biscuit it's also applicable.

they are all financed by Bernanke's gang, are apart of the derivities and have bonds in a world of false finances.......soon to fail

You guys are on the right track but so far no one has got it. I'll post what they all have in common later this evening - keep guessing.

Are they "hiding" money in overseas banks to avoid taxes?

LateOutOfBed · Post by **LateOutOfBed** » February 25th, 2013, 2:53 pm

My guess is that none of them paid taxes or extremely low amounts of taxes last year.

You guys are still on the right track, but no one has it right yet.

127 corporations that want to “Fix the Debt” by gutting your retirement

They are all owned by the LDS church?

Obviously he meant "I'm just pulling your chain, I'm going to drag this out as long as I can to get as much attention about it as I can".

Other than what has already been guessed, I would say maybe they all support gay marriage? I know tons of companies are jumping on board with this, so this is a stab in the dark.

I accidentally stumbled across the answer while reading this morning on some of my fav sites. If Col doesn't respond in 20 min or so, I'll post the link here. But, I'll give him the opportunity to actually follow through with this thread.

I think you should go for it. After all, he DID challenge us to provide the answer.
