I don't think Perkins is worried about too much. I am in the energy business here in Houston and the word is that Perkins is worth somewhere between $300 and $400 million dollars. His venture fund is a tiny operation but he made his big money trading natural gas derivatives for a huge hedge fund here.

Yes, the Wall Street Journal is running a story this morning that goes more in-depth into Mr. Perkins financial dealings than I was able to in the short time I was working on this blog post. My apologies for my post's incomplete-ness. The WSJ article appears here:

Good article, but you missed a big part of the story, how he made $1.25M on the Goldman Sachs bailout last week and he was so disgusted that he was making money off of government sponsored corporate socialism that he decided to use this money for this ad and others, and the give the rest to charity.

And Lizzie is incorrect. It's been the Republicans for decades who have been steadily and steadfastly increasing corporate welfare, creating this socialist state.

Thank you for this enlightening piece of investigative journalism.

I have no compassion nor gratitude for Mr. Perkins. He is part of the PROBLEM and WHY we got here in the first place... For decades people have been supporting comrade cronies like Dodd and company --members of the Congressional "Progressive Caucus" of the Democratic Socialists of America. And now they're trying to shove Obama down our throat, a NOTHING LOSER who has known ties and relationships to notorious COMMUNISTS like Frank Davis Marshall, William Ayers, ACORN, etc.

Mr. Perkins, if you lose your freedoms its because you are too STUPID to have backed those who DEFENDED THEM ALL ALONG. Political parties notwithstanding, yes, it is true that the enemies of freedom are on both sides of the Party aisle. The only difference is that the Democrats HAD IT TATTOED ON THEIR FOREHEADS, while the Republicans just played us like fools. And Mr. Perkins couldn't even see the obvious.
