    I’m so persecuted, I have to live on a $1 billion a year income, that crazy Warren Buffet thinks I can live on $500 million a year, he’s nuts, I can’t live in poverty! Those poor people just don’t work hard enough, that’s why they’ aren’t billionaires like me. Coal miners should just suck it up and work harder and accountants for multimillion dollar companies who are being paid $11 an hour for the privilege of doing their accounts payable, just need to negotiate a better pay even though you’ve been told, if you don’t like the pay, get a different job….but there are no jobs because the CEO got a $100 million bonus while 50 people got laid off.

    My nephew who inherited a building company recently told me that he hated Obama’s welfare state because he couldn’t keep employees. If they were on unemployment, they would refuse to come back to work until it ran out. Here was this 30 year old kid standing in his 3/4 million dollar house, telling me that he paid his workers so little that they were better off on unemployment, and he thought that THEY should be ashamed.

    You do understand that the Nazis were a right-wing nationalist party. In European politics the party names have very little to do with the actual platforms of the parties, something that many Americans morons like to overlook when they ignorantly and dangerously try to pant political extremism as being strictly the domain of only the left side of the political spectrum.

    Perkins is definitely out spoken and controversial, but he did have one valid point. The fact that over 50% of the USA population pays no Income taxes has gotten us into a real mess. Human nature is such that people want everything and as long as you don’t have to pay for it they will demand it.

    Actually in the 1930s the rise of the Third Reich would not have been possible without the direct involvement of American banks and corporations. The 1% at the time saw Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy as alternative economic models to the New Deal. ’One good example of this is the enduring symbol of the Holocaust, the numbers tattooed on the arms of Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals, Communists or anyone else deemed undesirable by the State. Those numbers were part of a punch card collating system developed and serviced by the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) without which the mass slaughter of the final solution would have been much more difficult if not impossible. ’So this crumb can get bent and if he feels that persecuted here in America perhaps he ought to move somewhere more to his liking. Perhaps down to South America where he can spend his life behind barbed wire and live in constant fear of kidnapping for ransom.

    You sir should be a diplomat. .If I remember correctly (someone please correct me if I’m wrong) Hitler killed Jews and this Perkins imbecile is equating that to him and his ilk getting richer….Living in an alternate universe is putting it VERY mildly. VERY VERY mildly.

    the irony here is that half the 1% are the ones throwing bricks at the other half: Pelosi, Hagan, Maloney, Lowey, McCaskill, DelBene, Pingree, Feinstein. and they all did a lot better during their congressional terms. do as i say, not as i do.

    And they’ll make sure you never get into it, while you adoringly carry their water.
