Henry Kravis makes $57,000 Per Hour. Maybe You Need To Work Harder.

Posted by John Carney, Dec 07, 2007, 9:01am

Our second favorite reaction to yesterday's KKR video comes from Fake Ben Bernanke:


Now it seems everyone is a self-appointed YouTube firm critic. Dan Primack criticizes the firm for not addressing serious issues with private equity. Andrew Ross Sorkin reminds me of my intern and thinks it’s a noteworthy story. Bess Levin just wants to be Henry Kravis. Good for Bess. I’m no Randian Greenspan, but those teachers need to work harder if they want to earn $450 million a year. To the language teacher in the video, I suggest she move to another country and teach English — it’ll be easier to earn the equivalent of $57,000 US dollars per hour in another currency.

only if she then flies (swims/crawls) back to the USA to spend her money. otherwise, its a wash. or are we proposing that the cost of living is lower in the Eurozone. because, you know, have you ever been there?

Man am I sick of hearing about "critics" of "income distribution". The argument is virtually unchanged from VI Lenin's bolshevik propaganda. Incomes at the upper tail are always viewed as if they are somehow generated through outright theft from "the people". Of course, it is always unclear who "the people" are, and it is always unclear as to how high income is theft, but who cares as long as you can get a bunch of you tube/CNN watchers outraged (not that it matters since most of them will go back to their Big Macs and Tercels).

My favorite car to give my proles is a good ol 1970's Pinto for Christmas.
And no Big Macs, since we've instituted cost cutting measures, you get one cheeseburger and 3 1/2 fries and 1/3 of a coke.

Mr. Pink

I would like to bid for the mezzanine tranche of that Big Mac (2 patties, one slice of bun, no special sauce). Afterwards maybe everyone else can mark to our deal.

Neo-cons would bitch if you were going to hang them with a new rope. Redistribution of wealth my ass. Another neo-con lie.

Speaking of that, Khrushchev famously stated that after the USSR took over America and the hangings were to commence, American rope makers would aggressively compete for that business.

Kind of ironic no that Krushchev's beloved mother russia went crumbling becuase no one there want't to compete for anything (another being lazier?)

While the competing Americans prospered. Moral of the story?

The Dude:
.10 cents on the dollar. The components that made up the tranche is not exactly grade-A beef.

I'm writing down $6.99 in losses. Firing thousands. Smoking pot on the 4th floor bathroom in BSC and holding a teddy bear.

I pick Mr. Yellow because it reminds me of Mike's Hard Lemonade.

Mr. Brown - Good luck taking that shit in the bathroom. I'm sure your colleagues appreciate the lovely scents that waft around when you forget to wipe. Enjoy your brown shoes and your brown nose for Christmas.

Yumm.. Mike's Hard Lemonade... I love that shit. Maybe me and Cayne will have that while we smoke a joint and moon James Dimon on Park Av.

Gotta love the lemon!

I was removed from the office for taking a shit on the trading floor once.
