I don't think he compared it to the Holocaust, but rather FASCIST GERMANY with respect to the Jews, and yes, there is a difference, and I agree with him 100%.
Before the holocaust happened (the systemic killing of Jews and others via death camps), there was a run up of hatred of the jews. Germans blamed their economic woes on the Jews, who were successful. Fast forward a few years, you had ghettos for Jews, and a few years after that, the Holocaust.
The parallels are spot on, to FASCISCT GERMANY, particularly in the 1930s in the run up to the holocaust.
All the people who want to eat the rich today, (and this country, 250k+ is rich acording to the govt), are likely the same idiot masses that got sucked into believe it's everyone whose "rich" is fault as to why their life sucks today. And the reality is, it's not everyone whose rich's fault. There's a lot of reasons for it, from a few rich assholes to the idiocy of the government these same people are trying to empower, to globalization.
You could tax the rich 100% of everything they had and there still wouldn't be enough money to go around or significantly impact peoples lives for the better, because once the government got their greedy paws on it, it would just mint new and different billionaires via corruption and stupidity.
One of the biggest flaws between all of this class warfare is there is no distinction among "the rich." You have a chat with someone and theyll pull out names like Jamie Dimon or some other Wall Street CEO. But theres a difference between Bankers/Financial Engineers, Multi National Corps, Mid-Size to Small-Cap Businesses, and then your regular Small Business Owners. But in the discussions, all people want to do is blame rich people, like every rich person is a big fucking greedy asshole. It's easy to take shots at the rich when you think of everyone rich as a "billionaire."
