It’s enough to make me gag. Robert Greenwald & the Brave New Films team has a new expose on how Henry Kravis, a severely wealthy “financier” pays less taxes than his maid! Read, watch, weep, then post your ideas of what you’d do in his house for Xmas:
A Home for the Holidays
What would you do if you lived in one of
Henry Kravis' mansions for a day during the holidays?
Would you feed the homeless? Throw a huge party?
Sell everything on eBay?
Post a comment on the Brave New Films blog

Kravis' mansions, and you could be the star of our next video!
Tell us what you'd do.

HENRY KRAVIS PAYS LESS TAX THAN
TEACHERS, FIREMEN, AND POLICEMEN, AS WELL AS
THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS.
TEACHERS, FIREMEN, AND POLICEMEN, AS WELL AS
THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS.
The Self-Congratulatory “Academy of Achievement” [sick!] lists this under Sir Kravis’ bio:
[…] Henry Kravis is one of the most successful investment bankers in history. He is famous in the business world for pioneering the leveraged buyout (or LBO), that is, borrowing money to buy a controlling interest in a given company. As managing partner of Kohlberg, Kravis, Roberts (KKR), he is responsible for some of the biggest corporate acquisitions in history. The list of companies Henry Kravis has bought and sold over the course of his career is a roll-call of great American brand names: Safeway, Beatrice, Borden, Playtex, Samsonite, Culligan, Texaco.
In 1988, he engineered the buyout of RJR Nabisco, a struggle dramatized in the book and film, Barbarians at the Gate. The purchase price, $24.88 billion, was the highest that had been paid for a commercial enterprise up to that time.
