Not Only in 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." - Tom Perkins, poor, unfortunate, mega-rich venture capitalist and 5th husband of Danielle Steel.

Tom Perkins' trickle-down defense of the 1% has huge flaws - Joe Garofoli, SFGate
...But Perkins' claim of trickle-down economics runs into some statistical problems - the lowest rung of the economic ladder has seen average adjusted gross incomes drop 18 percent over the same period.

And that she had done many good works for the people of San Francisco.
