From photos I’ve seen, Perkins is kind of old and creepy-looking, but we might get a couple of nice billfolds or even a pair of shoes out of his ass and we can always boil his bones for soap. Apparently, the bad press his WSJ letter occasioned did nothing to slow down Perkins. The following week, at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, he suggested a novel approach to democracy: each dollar, not each person, should count for a single vote. Then came Sam Zell, billionaire chairman of Equity Group Investments. “I guess my feeling is that he’s right,” he told Bloomberg’s Betty Liu. “The 1 percent are being pummeled because it’s politically convenient to do so.” Actually, Zell said, “the 1 percent work harder. The 1 percent are much bigger factors in all forms of our society. The problem is that the world and this country should not talk about envy of the 1 percent. It (sic) should talk about emulating the 1 percent… Lots of people have come from nowhere and become part of the 1 percent.” lookingglass.blog.co.uk/2014/03/26/we-can-always-boil-his-bones-18053558/
