I would start a company in the manufacturing sector. It will manufacture things like textiles, toys and various household goods. I will open state of the art facilities in the U.S. that will have the best tools of the trade and a high degree of automation. I will employ highly trained engineers to operate and maintain the high tech machinery, skilled laborers to handle to bulk of the manufacturing work and unskilled laborers to handle everything else. All workers will be given ample opportunity for advancement and all employees will be shareholders, so that way they can derive the full benefit of their work they do and the wealth they generate.

Of course, this enterprise will go completely bankrupt within a few years as there will be no way in hell we could possibly price our products low enough to compete against companies that outsource their manufacturing jobs to China. However, in the meantime, all our employees will be paid competitive wages, even though profits will be very low.

So basically, I'll just donate it to a bunch random poor people, like everyone else.

I would have a silent auction of everything in that mansion. I would plan an elegant event with donated food etc. and the benefits would go to a nonprofit I would set up to pay for a high-powered lobbyist to work for change to the disability programs enough to at least allow all of us unlimited work attempts without being penalized by losing our health care and eliminating these income limits for the disabled that are totally out of sync with today's living costs. I am absolutely certain Mr. Kravis won't miss these belongings

Maybe every person who sees this film, and agrees that greed has become the dictating force in America, will write or call every member of congress, every news media outlet in their state, every one of their friends and family members...well, you get the idea...until we take action, things will never change.

This is somewhat belated but am I still allowed to offer my opinion of what I'd do with the Kravis houses?
Regardless I'll say it anyways. If I had control over one of his houses (I'll go with one of the more exotic properties like in the Dominican Republic) I think I would have a big auction for all the useless junk and strip the main property to it's bare bones. Then you could use the money to fund a big project, like a colony for the homeless or stuff. Turn the main building into a people's library and guest rooms available to rent to make a few bucks. Knock down all the tennis courts and swimming pools and what not and build housing for the poor and a farm. Maybe the fishing spot can stay. But anyways people could live on the property and work in exchange for a place to sleep and eat. Very starry eyed and its socialism but what can you do. It would be nice though... My 2 cents anyways.

Very good report--those that applaude the Henry Kravis's of the world
would have us believe --one gets this walthy by hard work & good
business sense.. That no one gets hurt unfairly in this type of swindle !

Another of these "venture capitalists" is Mitt Romney.--they don't design, invent,
manufacture, advertise or sell products---they just whiz-bang people & companiess
out of business with the all-powerful, "heavy money"= brute force--beware you
peasants--when the sword cometh, none will survive .

I could be convinced to take up arms to fight the inequities and injustices and greed. But then I think it's not the system that's broken. We're the problem. We the people have allowed this. It's a perfectly good syetem we just need to hold our representatives accountable and support them so they don't have to count on big business and be shameless dirty whores. Don't email or write your congressman. Show up at his office to request a chat.

Fail.

Kravis is self made. Life is full of decisions. We all choose our own paths.

The firemen's pension fund (and many others) made money off of KKR deals by investing with KKR. Be careful what you wish for . The attempt to pillary Kravis is weak. The end of your movie asks me to do something...what would you reccommend...I reccommend a war on ENVY.

green is the color of both money and jealousy. Change the tax codes if you like...you won't get a fight out of me...but Kravis alone pays more in taxes in a week than the individuals interviewed in your piece pay all year.

total. fail.

Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev, Andropov, and now Obama. Hurray for the equality of the masses! Oh, I forgot to mention that the rulers are above all the rules - they still live in posh environs. Pish Posh! So much for my utopian dream. Too bad Obama - aka The Kenyan Usurper - doesn't know the history of despotism in communist Russia. This road has already been traveled. Do we really need to tread in these footsteps again?

Greed is not a Republican vs. Democratic idealogue. Both parties currently are showing their true colors at the expense of the law abiding and hard working American taxpayer. When the Swiss UBS bank hands over their list of Americans sheltering money and avoiding US taxes, hopefully, the list will be made public so Americans can see ALL the elected officials that feel they are above the law when it comes to tax evasion and hiding money offshore. Let the chips fall.

I am not American but I understand what you're going through, because the financial monster you created is also wreaking havoc in my small corner of the world. However, in a country that completely demonizes socialists values I’m rather surprised at what I can find on this US site! Is it just me, or is all this talk about “how much money does a man need to find happiness” and the “just distribution of wealth” having the distinctive, sulphurous smell of communism? I though that your whole system was all about letting the unimpeded market decide who’s boss, let the fittest survive and all that? Then, isn’t what’s happening simply an indication that the smartest learned the game to such an extent that they’re now calling the shots? Shouldn’t this normally be taken as an indication by those still racing head down in the maze that “making it” is possible? Like when someone wins a big lottery prize? From the testimonies I read in here, those who got a "thumb down" in the arena now seem to wish the rules were different. The irony is, those people are probably the same who, during past decades, condoned economic sanctions against weak socialist countries and happily sent their army to subdue distant populations in order to keep the famous American Dream afloat—which must be a powerful ideal indeed, because those who are living it just convinced those who will never live it to spend thousands of billions to fuel it.

I fear for us all.

If our State Government says we are created equal then shouldn’t the wealth distribution at the very least be reasonable. What kind of human being can ignore killing human beings as he owns homes he will not even enjoy no more than a few days a year. “It’s not my fault it’s his”, That is what Nazi’s would say as they carried out the Holocaust and so do these ridiculous business men that think by giving to charity would shy away from the social stigma that their wealth brings up. I ask you what the difference is? Henry Kravis worked hard to get what he has I believe that 100%, but the fact is so do other people in or society like Doctors, college students, laborers, factory workers, teachers, firemen, you and so on. SO, what is the difference between his hard work and my hard work. When is money enough. Shouldn’t we as a society take the responsibility to help those in need and make a difference. You arrest and prosecute a common thief that robes your wallet or purse if caught, whats the difference people your getting robbed the same way just in a different format.

This biblical quote pretty much says it all,
"...it is easier to fit a camel through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven..."
And this applys to whatever one's definition of "heaven" is...

I suggest we show this to the republican side of the congress who insist that their tax breaks help the taxpayer. I will send it to Georgr Radanovich my representative.

65 years ago he would have been shot for this greedy action, how this happens is a very bad loophole, nobody should be able to use borrowed money to use in a get rich scheme , i say take him away and let him share a room with a angry person in prison
