We've noted before that it does not appear as if the anti-private equity crowd has succeeded in creating a populist movement. But it will not be for lack of effort by some, notably the SEIU. Now comes a short movie: "The War on Greed, Starring the Homes of KKR's Henry Kravis," which the New York Times calls "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" meets "Roger & Me." The movie, not related to SEIU's efforts, details Kravis's lifestyle and contrasts it with those of working people. A sidewalk screening is planned for the front of Kravis' New York residence. Three more movies are in the works. This is a PR issue for the entire industry to say the least.
