Unrepentant Tom Perkins apologises for 'Kristallnacht' remarks but defends war on the rich letter Billionaire venture capitalist admits Kristallnacht was a "terrible word" to use but defends war on the rich remarks Maria Tadeo Web reporter for The Independent Tuesday 28 January 2014 Billionaire Tom Perkins has apologised for using the word 'Kristallnacht' after he sparked outrage by saying that rich Americans are being persecuted like 'Jews in Nazi Germany'. Kristallnacht, also known as the Night of Broken Glass, refers to a series of coordinated raids against Jews throughout Nazi Germany in November 1938, which saw hundreds of Jewish-owned businesses and synagogues destroyed. At least 91 Jews were killed in the attacks, and 30,000 were arrested. The venture capitalist used the word in a letter where he drew parallels between America's "progressive war" on the rich and the persecution of Jews by the Nazi regime, and likened the Occupy movement to Kristallnacht. Speaking to Bloomberg TV, the co-founder of Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers said: "It was a terrible word to have chosen." But Perkins was unrepentant about the broader comparison, claiming that the richest one per cent of Americans are being "demonised" just like Jews were under Nazism. He went on to say that, just like in Nazi Germany, Jews only represented one per cent of the German population, yet Hitler was able to demonise them as a community. Perkins highlighted that it is "absurd" to attack the rich for doing what rich do, "creating opportunities for all". "The letter said what I believe: I believe we have to be careful that we don’t demonise anybody and we don’t demonise the most creative part of society," he said. "As a class, we are beginning to engage in class warfare. The rich as a class are threatened through higher taxes, more regulation." In a letter to The Wall Street Journal titled "Progressive Kristallnacht Coming?", Perkins said: "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 demonisation 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 per cent." During the interview, Perkins, who was educated at MIT and Harvard university, also took a moment to boast about his Richard Mille watch. He said: "This isn't a Rolex. I could buy a six pack of Rolexes for this". Perkins was recently in the news after spending $150 million building a super yacht called the Maltese Falcon.

Milijarder Tom Perkins (66) iz Silicijske doline, koji se obogatio ulaganjem u rizični kapital, usporedio je kritiziranje najbogatijih Amerikanaca s progonom Židova u nacističkoj Njemačkoj. Njegova usporedba promptno je označena kao 'sablasna i sramotna' U pismu Wall Street Journalu, Perkins je povezao pokret Occupy s 'Kristalnom noći', zloglasnim pogromom Židova u studenom 1938. godine, piše britanski Telegraph 'Pišući iz epicentra progresivne misli, San Francisca, pozvao bih da se obrati pažnja na paralele između fašističke nacističke Njemačke i rata protiv njezina 'jednog postotka', naime njezinih Židova, s progresivnim ratom prema američkom jednom postotku, naime bogatašima', napisao je Perkins u pismu naslovljenom 'Stiže progresivna Kristalna noć?'. 'Od pokreta Occupy do demonizacije bogatih, ugrađene u svaku riječ naših lokalnih novina San Francisco Chronicle, uočavam rastuću plimu mržnje prema uspješnom jednom postotku'. Perkins spominje antipatiju u San Franciscu prema luksuznim 'Googleovim autobusima' koji prevoze djelatnike do njihovih dobro plaćenih radnih mjesta, kao i sve veći gnjev zbog porasta cijena nekretnina do koje su doveli bogati kupci koji rade u internetskim kompanijama. 'To je veoma opasno skretanje u našem američkom razmišljanju... Kristalna noć bila je nezamisliva 1930; je li njezin nasljedni 'progresivni' radikalizam nezamisliv sada?' zapitao je Perkins. Perkins, koji ima diplome s MIT-a i Harvarda, nekoć je bio suprug kraljice ljubića Danielle Steel i autor je knjige 'Sex and the Single Zillionaire'. Jahtu 'Malteški sokol' 2006. platio je 150 milijuna dolara. Korisnici Twittera ismijali su Perkinsa kao 'bogatog idiota', a Los Angeles Times ocijenio je njegovo pismo 'sablasnim, vulgarnim i sramotnim'. - Sviđa vam se članak?
