Message to Private Equity: Rescue US Please

Private equity buy-out firms have also had an unfavorable press.  According to critics: They buy at dear, distress prices, hurt business constituencies when they restructure operations, flip the business, and suck all the money out of a going business.  And, the private equity managers do not pay their own investors will for the risks they take. 

Now private equity is on the side-lines, with cash, waiting for buying opportunities have the markets stabilize.  And we want and hope they will get back in -- we need the cash in capital starved businesses.  Where are the critics?
