http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Huntsman,_Sr.Huntsman Corporation became publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange in 2005. In 2007 Huntsman co-founded a new private equity firm, Huntsman Gay Global Capital, joining former Bain Capital executive Robert C. Gay to focus on investments in middle market companies.

Investment Strategy
Huntsman Gay's strategy is grounded in the proven methodologies of world-class organizations where its team members gained their experience including Huntsman Corporation, Bain Capital and Sorenson Capital and we employ a team approach so all transactions and portfolio companies benefit from that diverse experience. We combine superior deal flow and deal execution capabilities, value-added portfolio management and properly aligned incentives to achieve our objectives.

I can see why Huntsman is calling for everyone to leave Mitt alone about his past Bain experience now.

Does anyone still doubt that there's just a small handful of wealthy people who run everything?

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/827395/Huntsman-Bain-Capital-dealing.html
Huntsman Corp. Friday announced a deal in which venture capital firm Bain Capital Inc. will invest more than $600 million in Huntsman.
Huntsman will use more than half of that to buy the remaining 30 percent it doesn't own in London-based Imperial Chemicals Industries. Huntsman bought a majority interest in ICI in June 1999, a $2.8 billion acquisition that made Huntsman the third-largest chemical company in the United States.
