Tom Berg is one of the founders of Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers is from
there whenever
the most successful venture capital firms in the country and he is
apparently losses might
but it's actually moreover symptom ok but the disease
0 the bubble that some of these billionaires live in and he is in fact a
billionaire
from then it is about Tom Perkins he recently wrote a letter to The Wall
Street Journal
saying that the progressives were just like the nazis
let me quote him so that you understand okay he said I would call attention to
the parallels or fascist Nazi Germany
to its war on its 1 percent namely its jus
to the progress a war on American 1 percent namely the Reg
so now of course the nazis killed
six million Jews tried to put them in concentration camps
and gas chambers et cetera now the rich in this country
the one percent not quite in that situation in fact I would argue that
there in the exact
opposite situation that they are literally the richest among us that's by
definition
and they seem to control the government they keep getting more and more tax cuts
and no right now they are you for even further
corporate tax cuts on top their personal income tax cuts
President Obama made bush's tax cuts for the rich permanent
for 94 percent of the dollars that come into the federal
at did government right so
the more they hey get money the more
may take advantages for themselves there's the deregulation
they won't raise the minimum wage and the list goes on and on
but in their insane world it's a rich
there are being discriminated against the other victims they were just like
the Jews during the Holocaust
he continues from the Occupy movement to the demonization of the rich embedded in
virtually every word of our local printer paper
this after-school Chronicle I perceive a rising tide of hatred
are the successful one percent yet Occupy movement which has all those
power in this country is gonna come for you right
thang by moving in this country and portal has no power
in fact it was your cops the banks paid for New York
that was our tax money that goes for those cops
but the banks through the night parties for the police commissioner
they have a joint video headquarters in downtown where they monitor our
the Occupy movement and they get the cops the fall Occupy movement now
and as thick media try said tape that
they throw all this equipment sound like this cetera
so that number can be recorded the Occupy movement
thats crushing people in this country
and as taking those kinda gestapo tactics and pepper spray people in the
face
and throwing them out of public parks they have every right to be in
its people protecting the one percent but
in this guy's world in his bubble although poor billionaires
Birdsall break their minds they have all that money and power
but every once in awhile somebody on your protest about it home
oh my god there this close to auschwitz
now that sounds outrageous traded sounds offensive when I said it
what is the one saying any watered down Wall Street Journal
printed here's another one he says this is very dangerous trip that are american
thank you
kristallnacht was unthinkable in 1930 is this the send and
progress the radicalism unthinkable now Chris a lot on the rounded up the Jews
course rounding up the rich
other than the given up at UMass the other guys who give the money to the
politicians
and then they get exactly what they want from the politicians this is disgusting
man
on this show we say over and over again looks
not liking the rich is an absurd proposition it depends on who they are
what do you mean
there's no reason not to like go pro your local doctor I've said it a million
times on the show
right that isn't a problem the problem is people who fix the rules
so that they get all the advantages so they pay as Mitt Romney did less than 13
percent in taxes
while their secretary pays twice as much as that
that's not a crystal locked on the rich if anything it's a massive
disproportionate
punishment on the poor and the middle class by the rage
and when you point out those are facts when you point that out Billy of how
dare you
I'm so victimized boom look at me
wall I was sitting in my insane wealth
with the rules that I pics in my favor
new income and plot for me
so it's not all the rich but it's so that Tom Perkins the world
where are anger is directed okay
and calm or try to change the political system
you think we're bad as progressives you keep
dig in and dig in and slapping people across the face is saying certain things
like this
you're gonna get some a helluva lot worse than ours I hope you never do
and if you do the person is gonna come and try to protect you is me
okay because progress is actually give a damn about everybody
and we want justice for everybody for you in your
infinite arrogance sit there
and say that you're not treated well enough by Kleiner Perkins is of course
embarrassed by this the company
they say Topher Grace has not been involved in KPCB in years
we were shocked by his views expressed today in the wall street journal and do
not agree
are hardly anyone was willing to publicly say they agree but of course a
lot a wall street
feel this way when you hear in articles from time to time when they cry about
what Obama's done to them which
can't quite figure out what that as Oakland give them or more advantages
during a so-called economic recovery in 2010 ninety-three percent of economic
recovery went to the top one percent
although this close to kristallnacht
they had cook also the crystal champagne the Kristallnacht
nobody's coming for the top one percent they're just sitting there
having the time in their lives in this system this designed to give them all
the advantages
and this guy still cries now after saying these absurd things
he must have at least walk to back a little bit once you realize one jackass
he was right
wrong when Bloomberg News ask them about it he double down and he said
in the Nazi area it was racial the immunization
now its class team is Asian Tom I got nothing to do with your class
I don't give a damn about it I look there's nothing wrong with the rich
people I'm now send a million and one times
I've said on the show I'd like to be rich we all like to be rich or doesn't
want to be right of course
but what's not right is when you fix the god damn rules
and then you cry about it and say you didn't get enough
thats insane greed and that's the bubble you live it
