thanks for saving me the time of writing this reply. I'd add that billionaires are not being prevented from marrying non billionaires, nor are they being forced to walk around with patches signifying their possession of an attribute <i>that cannot be changed</i>. To that end, no one's suggesting we create forced work camps where billionaires are put to death. No, what people want is a fairer system. And people like Tom Perkins and this poster can't seem to separate the two. For such smart people, some of the people on hacker news are just stupid. For the last time, the analogy doesn't work, it's inappropriate, and those who persist in this line of thinking really should have their heads examined.
