Class warfare?

Class warfare, indeed.

Poverty has increased locally and nationally across the board, joblessness is reaching Great Depression-era levels, and millions have lost houses to those whose own homes resemble castles, to those who are secure in both funding and foundation. Money does not disappear. It has to go somewhere; what is lost is always found. Most all of us have spent the last several years losing money hand over fist, while Forbes tells us that the richest among us have increased their wealth by vast amounts in one year.

Try to contain your shock.

There is work available for the doing, on infrastructure and new technology fields and any number of other areas, but the GOP majority in the House of Representatives won't have any of it, because their marching orders are to screw the American economy in as many orifices as are available to try and unseat the sitting president. Period, end of file, and if you still think that isn't their intention, I have a big red bridge over San Francisco Bay to sell you.

Class warfare? These cretins have the unmitigated gall to accuse other people of class warfare?

It is a wonder of American politics, this absolute and astonishing lack of shame on the part of the modern GOP. They have spent the last thirty years stifling a minimum-wage increase, they blocked legislation to help 9/11 responders pay for very present health concerns, and spent the latter part of this last week trying to screw disaster relief funding for people who lose homes to tornadoes, floods, wildfires and earthquakes. They hate Social Security and Medicare down to their gold-plated bones. Now they are deliberately and intentionally stifling the very economy they themselves tore up, for no other reason than to win the next election.

How are they doing it? Money and power, power and money, and be damned to those who suffer for their desires.

Psssst...it is class warfare: full-throated, no-bullshit class warfare, and the rich ones whining about it are the ones who are winning. Be on your own side for a change of pace. They got the guns, as a man once said, but we got the numbers.

It is class warfare, and has been for a generation. We've been losing, badly.

For now.

    I sometimes wonder if that was the plan to begin with - give all of those people those great loans with the ballooning interest rates and then start closing up the shops so they can take some of that property back - stranger things have happened

    GREAT POST! I've been saying much the same for some time now. Seriously, if anyone votes republican these next elections, they should have their heads examined....

    "Class warfare? These cretins have the unmitigated gall to accuse other people of class warfare?"

    Sad, isn't it? As you said, the republicans / GOP don't give a rats ass bout the AVERAGE American. And when THE WEALTHY run out of OUR money, what are they gonna do? Call out their little private armies on us?

    Who'd be comitting "class warfare" then?

    People better think long and hard before the next elections. If the republicans / GOP win, it will be the DEATH KNELL for the poor and what's left of the middle class. You will have our little 5% ELITE that HAVE and CONTROL EVERYTHING, and the poor, who have NOTHING.

    Choose wisely.

    However, I think both parties have had a hand in this. Do you think that the Democrats are poor folk? They are hauling in the big bucks right alongside the wealthy Republicans. They point the finger at eachother while they are laughing at the rest of us. Grow up kid. This is the way the world works and has all along.

    Some Democrats are wealthy, but they are not looking to slash SS, Medicare, the minimum wage, blocking disaster relief, or helping the 9/11 responders like the GOP. Thats the class difference.

    I'll be impressed when they stop sending American jobs overseas and that goes for the republicans too.

    wonder no more.the RWNJ's have told you they intended to destroy the economic safety nets repeatedly. over and over and over again.don't you believe them? the most frugal and most wealthy and financial intelligent people in the country suddenly went on a wild spending spree that nearly plunged the U S and the world into depression knowing they would also lose their wealth?the coin they always use is based upon Heads-they win and Tales-you lose.
