"If anyone in this story is a robber baron, it's not the private equity executives, it's Calpers."

You're pretty far removed from the reality of average people if you think that state bureacrats live like "barrons" and better deserve that term than PE general partners. Do you think Joe Dear, the CalPERS CIO (who makes 500K) lives like Leon Black or Steve Schwarzman? Give me a break. Saying black is white doesn't make it so.
