RICH ARROGANCE – DOMINATION OF THE 99%

UPDATE:  PERKINS = I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN BE TAXED!

PERKINS = QUOTES JEFFERSON THAT ONLY LAND OWNERS SHOULD HAVE THE VOTE

Perkins system = “You don’t get the vote if you don’t pay a dollar in taxes.”

PERKINS = “But what I really think is it should be like a corporation. You pay a million dollars, you get a million votes. How’s that?” 

PERKINS LIES = 50% of registered U.S. voters DO not paying taxes = “we got ourselves into a mess.”

Perkins = $1M in taxes should get 1M votes

Perkins = AN EMBARRASSMENT = “Tom Perkins has not been involved in KPCB in years.  We were shocked by his views expressed today in the WSJ and do not agree.”

  — Kleiner tweeted after the letter was published

PERKINS = “I think the parallel holds.  The typical German had never met a Jew.” 

Audience Question: What the 1% fears. 

PERKINS:  afraid of “the war on the 1%?” = The fear of higher taxes on 1%. = “economic extinction, not a physical one.” 

Tom Perkins = AFRAID OF TAXES = Persecution of wealthy 1% = “rising tide of hatred” = Occupy movement = Taxes on the 1% are TOO PROGRESSIVE = “the extreme progressivism of the tax system…” He cited statistics …that the top 10% pays more taxes than the bottom 90% combined but the TOP 10% make 95% of the INCOME.

Perkins BLAMED INEQUALITY on the War on Poverty and Lyndon B. Johnson. 

Perkins = Government spends too much money on SAFETY NET BUT LOVES MEDICARE BECAUSE HE USES IT.

Perkins = Historically low interest rates = A boom in tech startups = “An incredible amount of money has flowed into venture capital.  There’s so much money [in Silicon Valley], that they can keep failing and failing, so they aren’t learning in college anymore.”

SUPERYACHT EGO!

“Rarely does one have the privilege to witness vulgar ostentation on such a grand scale.”

— Perkins BRAGS about his Super-Yacht He had built in Muslim Turkey and keeps it in Malta – SOUTH OF SICILY!  THE ENTITLED RICH!  PERKINS = SUCH OLD WORLD CHARM!

Tom Perkins '53

PERKINS = PURE PRIDE AND GREED “an airplane that flies underwater” + LARGEST SUPERYACHT IN WORLD + HIS “six-pack of $325,OOO Rolexes.” 

A disgruntled billionaire….only in America.

PERKINS Inference that Bill de Blasio and Elizabeth Warren are NAZIS is REPULSIVE

PERKINS = ZERO concern for those Americans less fortunate than himself – REFUSING TO HELP HIS RELATIVES “that are living in trailer parks” = Admits he is an ELITIST  – “I certainly have enough arrogance to be royal.”

PERKINS: Newly published book – “Sex and the Single Zillionaire!”

“I wrote this book to have some fun.  I wanted to see if I could do it and then see if I could sell it.”

 — Perkins – I GUESS IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE YOUR WEALTH – GREAT ADVERTISING HERE ON H P

PERKINS SAYS: As a single 70-something, he was invited in 2003 to audition for a TV reality show involving a dozen 20-something women vying to marry a wealthy bachelor…

PERKINS CALLS:  POOR = NAZlS – “I would call attention to the parallels of fascist Nazi Germany…to the progressive war on the American one percent…”

PERKINS = Calls PROGRESSIVES “war on the 1 percent” = NAZl AND ANTI-SEMITES

WORDS have no meaning to PERKINS.

COULD IT BE?

FACT – USA #1 in Wealth Inequality in developed world
FACT – USA #1 in Income Inequality

OR

FACT – USA #4 in Wealth Inequality in ENTIRE WORLD – Worse than Zimbabwe?

JUST ASKING.

“An imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics.” 

 —  Plutarch, (1,900 years ago)

“Extreme Inequality in the US is weighted very heavily to literally O.1% of the population, mostly Hedge Fund Managers and CEOs of Major Corporations. But the phenomenon is basically WORLDWlDE.”

— NOAM CHOMSKY

THEREFORE PERKINS IMPLIES: “PROGRESSIVE MAYOR OF NEW YORK IS NAZl AND ANTI-SEMITE.”  Same inference with Senator Elizabeth Warren.

LIES OF THE SUPER RICH LIKE HIS FELLOW KOCHROACHS!   

PERKINS = Even Defends his attack on 99% of Americans = “demonizing” them further.

FACT:  ARABS are SEMITES!

PERKINS = Defends his attack on 99% of Americans = “demonizing” the 99% versus 1%.

PERKINS:  IF YOU ARE LEFT OF GOP then YOU ARE READY TO MURDER LIKE THE NAZlS!  

GOP = PERKINS IS NEW IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT

PERKINS = PREFERS FEW ELITISTS WITH LOTS OF SERFS

PERKINS = had built a new superyacht – “The Maltese Falcon” motors into the Sea of Marmara for sea trials = world’s largest clipper yacht – Built in Turkey and based in Malta – The Falcon’s three freestanding 190-foot masts rotate automatically to accommodate the wind angle – 25,800 square feet of “canvas” on 15 square sails, which are controlled using 75 electric furling winches mounted aloft.

“WhiteMaleRichSelfPityingNarcissisticMoneyGrubbingArrogantVile — all in one wrinkled, acrid skin bag.”

 — Jeffery S Ponderus – The Base will LOVE him!

PERKINS

PERKINS = SETUP venture capital firm KPCB after he Made a fortune at Hewlett-Packard as First MBA ever hired = LUCK!

PERKINS SAYS: “Dave Packard was the ultimate entrepreneur.  I learned everything I know about venture capital from Dave.” 

Even ROMNEY wants to remove TAX LOOPHOLES FOR THE RICH!

Believe it or NOT = He is slightly better than Romney in LESS EXTRACTING FROM THE REAL ECONOMY!

SHAME WHAT 30+ YEARS OF GOP and DLC TAX DODGlNG MULTl-NATlONAL CRlMlNAL $BiIIionaire♚ AND $Bankster♛ FRAUD HAS DONE THIS TO AMERICA: 

PROGRESSIVE HUMAN SPIRIT CALLS FOR CHANGE FOR THE 99%!
