RT @spenserskates: One of the most frustrating things about the left is a focus on performance instead of effectiveness. We should care about helping our fellow man more than the spectacle of it. It’s been great to see a different flavor with Daniel Lurie in San Francisco for once.

Find me a way to get a loan for half your illiquid net worth. You cant. The asset seizure proponents are dishonest and also it’s not a 5% tax on startups. It’s a 50% tax in this simple case.
