Raise debt, screw the workers, destroy pensions, and charge everything.

3. I think, instead of destroy pensions...

you should say, "steal pensions" because that is what the private equity firms do. After they fire half the workers, borrow against the company, often twice, they steal the pension funds and leave so the company goes bankrupt. Or, after they steal the pension funds, they sell the factory and machines to a company in China.
