Rich Businessman Compares Treatment Of The Rich To The Holocaust

Venture capitalist Thomas Perkins wrote a letter to the editors at the Wall Street Journal, comparing the plight of the rich to the Holocaust, called "Progressive Kristallnacht Coming?"... and the WSJ published it.

"I would call attention to the parallels of fascist Nazi Germany to its war on its 'one percent,' namely its Jews, to the progressive war on the American one percent, namely the 'rich,'" Perkins writes. Thomas Perkins, one of the founders of venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers, was comparing taxes on the super rich to the slaughter of millions in the Holocaust.

Perkins ends his rant with: "This is a very dangerous drift in our American thinking. Kristallnacht was unthinkable in 1930; is its descendent 'progressive' radicalism unthinkable now?"

A vivid example of the wild, hyperbolic thinking that is causing this country so much damage.

A very reasonable conversation could take place about how our culture appears to be shifting away from individual effort and success and toward a more centralized power structure that favors "the collective". But when someone comes along and throws the freaking Holocaust to something, we go right off the rails.

This approach is so dumb that I wouldn't be surprised if he were actually a liberal playing a prank.

Silly.

It's so sad. The plight of the needy rich.

Good thing they have so many who care for them.

No it doesn't, but the Constitution, which declares that "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government" (Article IV, Section 4), tells us you are an uninformed moron who will continue to lie in hopes that some other moron will believe you.

Why are you afraid of the truth? Liar.
