Billionaire Thomas Perkins recently wrote a letter-to-the-editor in the Wall Street Journal which made me realize it is possible be both a billionaire and stupid. In this letter-to-the-editor, the venture capitalist wrote the following:
"I would call attention to the parallels of fascist Nazy Germany to its war on its 'one percent,' namely its Jews, to the progressive war on the American one percent, namely the 'rich.' ... From the Occupy movement to the demonization of the rich embedded in virtually every word of our local newspaper, the San Francisco Chronicle, I perceive a rising tide of hatred of the successful one percent. There is outraged public reaction to the Google buses carrying technology workers from the city to the peninsula high-tech companies which employ them. We have outrage over the rising real-estate prices which these 'techno geeks' can pay. ... This is a very dangerous drift in our American thinking. Kristallnacht was unthinkable in 1930; is its descendent 'progressive' radicalism unthinkable now?"
That's right, ladies and gentlemen - Thomas Perkins just compared liberals' attitude and treatment of the richest 1% to how Nazis treated Jews during the Holocaust. Obviously, he's right. How else could he explain that like Nazis allowed the Jews to do during the Holocaust, liberals permitted him to live long enough to write a letter-to-the-editor in the Wall Street Journal which compared progressives to Nazis.
Thomas Perkins may be a billionaire, but as his ridiculous comments have showcased, you obviously don't have be bright to be rich, and his liberals-treat-the-rich-like-Nazis-treated-the-Jews comment earns him my award for Douche of the Day! Congratulations, sir!
