Banning people from owning business? This is just a boogie man media term. There are good owners/investors and bad.

  Private Equity doesn’t “own” business in the sense most people understand it. PE is finalisation of business, its ownership is far more similar to a mortgagee than an owner in every sense of the word.

    it seems you are mixing up leveraged buyouts with PE PE is investing. Limited partners give pool some money, the manager is the general partner, they also put some money into the pool, to align incentives, and that's it. Everything else is not PE itself, but whatever strategy the fund has, or whatever deal some traders have came up.
