A war on the 1% was used by Stalin (in his implementation of Russian Marxism) and Adolph Hitler (to gain votes in his take-over of Germany). Obama's version of this "war on the One Percenters" is different, however. It includes all who make more than $30,000 per year.

<<<< Tom Perkins is a renowned businessman and a member of the One Percent Club.  I am telling you that his words of warning are critically important to all blue collar, Middle Class,  working Americans because "One Percent" is Obama Code for all who make more than the so-called "poor."  That is nearly everyone who reads this post.  I am retired "blue collar Middle America."  I make far less than 100,000 per year and my taxes have sky-rocketed under Obama with nothing in return.  Again,  I have received NOTHING from this Administration,  and you,  how have you benefited?  Most who read this are being forced to buy health insurance that was not as good as what they had before,  at costs of double and triple,  so that the so-called "poor" and alien populations can have a free ride. There is no recovery,  no jobs,  less and less national security but more taxes on US ALL and more wealth redistribution.  Obama is not a Democrat,  he is a Marxist, or,  at least,  a Marxist academic,  and that is his description of himself.

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 descendent "progressive" radicalism unthinkable now?
