Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available.

The short explanation of this alert was:
The economy is in trouble and everyone knows it. But not a lot of folks know about the biggest and richest corporate players involved - private equity firms. Private equity firms in the US own everything from Dunkin' Donuts to Toys "R" Us to Burger King but they operate in the shadows, making much of their money by ruthlessly eliminating jobs, slashing wages, and selling off operations. The top executives make billions while jobs are lost and communities suffer. Not only that, but due to a loophole in the law, these "Buyout Barons" often pay a lower tax rate than ordinary Americans. So a billionaire like Henry Kravis, founder of KKR, can pay a lower tax rate than teachers, nurses, and other hard-working folks. We're sending a petition to key members of Congress, asking them to close tax loopholes for these "Buyout Barons." It's the first step in a global campaign to take back the economy and get our country back on track.
