As pointed out very well in the video, KKR is responsible for 560,000 jobs. Henry Kravis takes financial risks, figure out financial systems, gets rewarded. This isn’t about greed, it is about capitalism at its best.
Let me remind you the alternative..
More about the movie at the NYTimes.
“capitalism at its best” you are one sick greedy domainer!
Maybe the producer should go visit Fidel Castro’s utopia where everyone is the same… poor.
sigh, this video is over the top but the video is not about that capitalism is bad, and you being an extremist and saying anyone who has the smallest complaint about the intricacies of our system is a commie doesn’t help. Don’t polarize.
The video makes the point that he should be paying his full tax bracket, and not just capital gains which lets them make ruffly 19% to 25% more profit.
capitalism is an economic structure that also has legal limits inside it, it will always have internal fights over where line is drawn. Personally I think a little more on the side of upping our lower cases income would be nice, teachers don’t make very much, upping their salaries by a meager 10% and taxing the top bracket by an additional 1% or whatever might not be that bad.
I’m all for making money, but the tax laws are silly. How Sen. Schumer supports these guys paying 15% taxes is beyond me.
