re: #124 brownbagj

Phrases like “working class” etc do bother me. Why? Well, I have seen some pretty wealthy people work their asses off to get where they are and I have seen some lazy folks reap their just rewards. But, due to the amount of money they make, one is a “working class’ person and the other is filthy rich.

Ok.
Let’s call them the top 5% income earners.
They are doing fine while the other 95% get screwed and if you point it out you are accused of “class warfare”.

If you suggest that they do not spread that tax cut money around but instead have horded it to the detriment of the economy you are picking on that top 5%.

If you point out that extra money in the pocket of the workers who make up the 95% actually gets spent which is good for the economy is also class warfare.

Suggesting that the tax cuts on the top wage earners should be allowed to stop and extending them for the rest of us is also considered class warfare.

Standing up for the 95% in this country is bad/socialism according to the GOP while making sure that the 5% is kept comfy is just the right thing to do.
