Gina Rinehart is living proof that you must never judge a person by his/her wealth.

There are countless other examples, however.

Billionaire Tom Perkins, San Francisco:

Progressive Kristallnacht Coming?

I would call attention to the parallels of Nazi Germany to its war on its "one percent," namely its Jews, to the progressive war on the American one percent, namely the "rich."

Regarding your editorial "Censors on Campus" (Jan. 18): Writing from the epicenter of progressive thought, San Francisco, I would call attention to the parallels of fascist Nazi 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. We have, for example, libelous and cruel attacks in the Chronicle on our number-one celebrity, the author Danielle Steel, alleging that she is a "snob" despite the millions she has spent on our city's homeless and mentally ill over the past decades.

This is a very dangerous drift in our American thinking. Kristallnacht was unthinkable in 1930; is its descendant "progressive" radicalism unthinkable now?

Tom Perkins is a founder of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.

Your first post attacks the rich.

Your second post attacks those who attack the rich.

Your third post attacks the rich.

This is why the white race is in so much trouble, Aryan.

Is this a sook over successful people thread that have made more money than the OP makes ?

If I earned $110,000 a year what is the threshold I can post in here and moan and cry about the rich.
Is it if they successfully made more than 1,000,000 dollars or a percentage multiplied by my wage ?

But of course they do.

I get the feeling mahdi isnt the most motivated or skillful of individuals. But we shouldnt be disdainful of the less fortunate.

Easy, so again I ask, how do we apply the limit here where we are supposed to moan and cry about the rich ?
How hard is answering a question horse ?.

So who should we cry over next ?

Brad Pitt, Angelina Joli, the CEO of Mc Donalds ?

What is the dollar limit that we are supposed to start crying over successful people at ?
