Tom Perkins has a nice penthouse. It would be a shame if anything happened to it.
What a loon!

First they came for the plutocrats, and I did not speak out–because I was not a plutocrat.
What an ignoramus! Am guessing that he flunked his history classes and the MAT.
Not that any of the past peasants’ revolts were all that successful and notable. But a few did result in chopping off the heads of royal and elite parasites.
Perhaps the 1% would be comforted by the words of Jefferson…
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.”
You laugh, but it’s terrible:
No, wait, that was someplace else.
People say MEAN THINGS about the 1% which is exactly the same as Kristallnacht. The victimhood is rampant with these people. Along with the breathtaking lack of good judgement for making such a comparison.
You know that old canard about banksters jumping from penthouse windows on Black Tuesday. It’s just that. A canard. History rewritten by those in a position to get away with it. They didn’t jump.
Steele’s books should be burned.
No fear.
They didn’t jump.
They would pay someone else to jump for them. That’s why you’re rich in the first place.
There were thrown. Quite possibly by whomever they paid to jump for them.
History only repeats to those who pay attention.
Per the interior design blowjob piece, he was on the board of News Corp. up to 2011.
Poor little “I negotiated it all with extra good lawyers” plutocrat whose ego was injured by rejection from his “betters” at an early age.
When plutocrats are going Godwin, maybe there is some cultural and political and economic change in the offing. Or is he wishing for fascism, which I understand in the short term is excellent for the wealthy.
Ah, but it’s the Wall Street Journal’s sacred duty to comfort the comfortable (for a fee) and afflict the afflicted.
Old guy like him, slipping and drowning in his bath tub.
A tragedy, I tells yah, but it happens to three hundred fifty Americans every year. Nobody could have seen it coming.
it’s easy to say “he’s old, he’s senile, he’s just an idiot”.
But the reality is that with very, very, few exceptions every one of the 0.1% thinks this way.
As an atheist I’m not big on the bible, but I do think the parts where Jesus is quoted as discussing the effects of excessive money on the soul (you know: camel – eye – needle) are dead on.
And I work with these people every fucking day (on a few occasions I get weekends off). It’s really sick. We REALLY REALLY need to get back to the 91% top marginal income tax rate. A maximum wage (which is what that, in effect, was) is the only sane answer. After they get a certain amount of money all they care about is getting more – and they don’t care what laws are broken or who suffers in the process.
Yes, a maximum wage and deeper inheritance taxes.
Slaveholders in the plantation “businesses” were terrified that their unpaid workers would revolt. In Haiti they did and the world is still making the country make payments to France for their freedom.
