The War on Greed: Henry Kravis
Brave New Films has released a new campaign: The War on Greed.
This short film focuses on Henry Kravis, a man who makes more than $51,000 an hour, by borrowing money from banks, buying up companies, slashing benefits, then selling the companies and laying off all it's workers. He reaps profits in the hundreds of millions of dollars every year, by devastating the lives of hardworking Americans. And to top it all off, he pays far less in taxes than you.
It's time for change.
