"The Tom Perkins system is: You don't get to vote unless you pay a dollar of taxes. But what I really think is, it should be like a corporation. You pay a million dollars in taxes, you get a million votes. How's that?" -- so sayeth ossified plutocrat Tom "I've Got A Killer Yacht!" Perkins yesterday in San Francisco. Perkins later indicated he was just trying to be outrageous (score!), but coming from the clueless dip who seriously likened progressives' focus on income inequality to the Nazi's Kristallnacht, we're not convinced he wouldn't prefer a political system that was run just like that. Hey, lead the way, Citizens United !
Perkins, you should also know, is a member of the board of directors for turd pirate Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., and was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in France when his yacht was involved in a collision with a smaller boat that resulted in a French doctor's death. So, he may be part of the 1 percent, but he's 100 percent asshole.
