Venture Capitalist compares himself to German Jews!

[JoeB131]

The rhetoric used by people like the president, the Democratic Party, and jealous losers like you is the same kind of rhetoric that the Nazis used against the Jews and for the same reasons.

Ummm....maybe you need to pick up a history book before you make yourself look stupid.

As long as you are around for comparison, I will never look stupid.

Guy, you could have Corky the Tard for comparison, and still look stupid.

Again, pick up a history book. The Jews got blamed for selling Germany out in WWI (the Stabbed in teh Back Myth) and for killing Jesus (the Jesus Myth).

Being rich. Meh, not so much. The Rich did very well under Hitler... until they lost the war.

His tax rate is 57%.

Who would that be?

The top marginal tax rate is 39% after the Bush Tax Cuts expired. And if he's making money on interest or capital gains, it's probably lower than that.

Because federal income tax is all we pay. See above post

yeah, so let's look at that.

Social Security and Medicare are capped at 100K or so. So they don't effect this guy.

He might be paying property taxes and state income taxes, but he can deduct those from his federal. So again, not so much. And since most of his income is on capital gains and interest, he's probably paying a lower rate.

Wow, you know what is hilarious about you suck-ups. You bend over and say, "Thank you, Sir, May I have another?"

He has a point.....

No he doesn't. Most of the Jewish people Hitler murdered were not rich people, they were working class and middle class. It was a stereotype that Hitler promoted through propaganda that Jews were all wealthy and were responsible for problems in German society and the German economy. The vast, vast majority of the people he killed were ordinary, middle or working class people.

On the top of his head, maybe.


Yup, wanting the rich to pay their fair share in taxes is JUST LIKE the systematic rounding up and extermination of an ethnic group

They already pay their fair share.

What the government is doing is using a false stereotype to make it look like they are on the side of the little man. Instead, they're busy ******* the little man and doing favors for their rich buddies.

Look at who supports this. Hollywood. Rich assholes that say the right things just to stay in the good graces of the liberal base. Their incomes depends on how they can get along inside the collective. They become vocal in their support of liberal policies at the same time they're doing the exact thing they accuse "The Rich" of doing. Hypocrites all. This is why they invented Carbon Credits.

Hollywood now has a new black list. Anyone who openly declares themselves to be a conservative finds it very hard to make a living. They are openly treated as outcasts. I think it's closer to the days of McCarthyism than the Holocaust.

Hollywood? Hollywood is the only thing you can come up with?

let's see now. The usual apologist checklist.

The rich already pay their fair share? really? It strikes me that if 1% has 43% of the wealth, they aren't paying their fair share and they have too much of the wealth.

I'm also curious as to which conservative actors are being "blacklisted". Name names.

Thanks.

If they're paying 70% of the taxes then they paying more than their share.


I'm not going to go looking for names for you bud. If you want to know just Google it. That's how I read up on it. If you ever wonder what happened to this actor or that actor many times is because he couldn't get a gig anymore because of his or her politics. Also, the reason you hear bad things about some people isn't just because they're assholes, but because of their political views. One that comes to mind is Mel Gibson. Many of these Hollywood A-list actors are no better or no worse than he is, yet he gets the bad press.

He gets bad press because he behaves like a jerk. For better or worse, the American public wants to look up to and respect their celebrities. When one shows himself to be a drunk and a bigot, that turns off a lot of people. Has nothing to do with politics or which side of the conservative-liberal spectrum you are. People want someone they admire and who behaves decently, especially in public. People will stop going to someone's movies because they find they don't like him anymore. No big show up at the box office, no more movie roles. It's about economics. There is no place is this country that is more focused on making money than Hollywood--being a liberal or a conservative has nothing to do with it.

Actually, you're partly right.

The top marginal rate of income tax in California is 57%. A good portion of his income will come from his management company, which will be taxed at 57%. His carried interest is calculated at the rate of capital gains, which for him will be 36.3%. Thus, his tax rate will probably be between 45% and 50%.

A rich hedge fund manager in California will pay 57% since most of a hedge fund manager's capital gains will be short term.

You totally miss his point! The Obama Regime picks one segment of society to single out, separate, and persecute to unite the rest and control them. It gives the ignorant masses a group to unite in hatred of.

It's not about rich or poor, it's about manipulating the masses.

Rich people are not being persecuted. They are not being sent to death camps. They are not being executed in mass firing squads. They are not being sent to the gas chamber. The analogy does not work. His situation has no comparison to the Holocaust.

Nazis did not start with concentration camps as well. They started with the ethnic warfare rhetoric - exactly the same way the class warfare rhetoric is being employed against the "rich".
And a bit more to the east the ones who used the same class warfare therminology as is being used by dimocrap scum now persecuted and exterminated more than 60 million people in concentration camps and without them - exactly on the basis of calling the people "rich" if they weren't begging on the streets and were wearing a coat and a hat.

Learn the history so you are not so glaringly ignorant.

 

[midcan5]

Apologists for the wealthy are downright silly. The rich hide their money in all the various ways a tax consultant can dream up. Rich people, like people with nothing, are useless unless you are a Bentley dealer or an overseas tax haven. Comparing inequality to Nazi murder is too stupid even for the stupid right wing in America. It proves one thing, partisan bandwagons have great power over the stupid when so stupid a comparison is not laughed at.

"On moral grounds, then, we could argue for a flat income tax of 90 percent to return that wealth to its real owners. In the United States, even a flat tax of 70 percent would support all governmental programs (about half the total tax) and allow payment, with the remainder, of a patrimony of about $8,000 per annum per inhabitant, or $25,000 for a family of three. This would generously leave with the original recipients of the income about three times what, according to my rough guess, they had earned.Untitled, UBI and the Flat Tax

"Many conservatives and libertarians defend the current levels of income inequality on the basis of merit. They claim the rich got rich because they worked harder, longer or smarter than the rest. However, researchers have conducted a vast number of empirical studies on what factors contribute to success, and in what proportion. A classic example of one of these studies is the 1972 book Inequality, by Christopher Jencks. And these studies show that the meritocrat's position is not just arguably wrong, but clearly wrong." The rich get rich because of their merit.

"What is a human life worth? You may not want to put a price tag on a it. But if we really had to, most of us would agree that the value of a human life would be in the millions. Consistent with the foundations of our democracy and our frequently professed belief in the inherent dignity of human beings, we would also agree that all humans are created equal, at least to the extent of denying that differences of sex, ethnicity, nationality and place of residence change the value of a human life."

Oh, so now you define persecution? When did God assign that to you?

Persecution ranges from slight to extreme.

Saul Alinski tactics: Seperate, isolate, destroy. That is persecution, and it is Obama Regime Tactics.

Perkins apologized.

[mamooth]

Here's the 'tard logic being used by the kooks here.

1. The Nazis criticized people.
2. You criticized people.
3. Hence, you're a Nazi.

Naturally, that standard doesn't apply to themselves when they criticize someone. Which means they're hypocrites as well as 'tards.

this guy is as bad as libs comparing bush to hitler.

it is done far too often and rarely is a valid comparison.

So what?

You know, this isn't the first time a 1%er has gotten caught making one of this moronic analogies, and then had to backtrack when everyone shouted them down for being so absurd.

I also love how the 1%ers claim they create jobs.

Once again, parasites trying to convince you they are vital organs.

He really didn't apologize.

He just said he was sorry if any Jews were offended by the word Krystallnacht, but that's what he was thinking when the OWS clowns broke windows of Lexuses.
