So this guy Fleming is the latest Rep. to roll out the phrase ...

"class warfare". Link here. I guess that phrase tested well for the republicans in the budget debates. Every time Obama or another progressive mentions raising taxes on the poor ole rich people, a hoard of conservative talking heads squawk "class warfare", like life sized Ken dolls in Armani suits with pull strings coming out of their backsides.
They don't know the first thing about class warfare. Now Czar Nicholas and the rest of the Romanovs, they know class warfare.
Considering the rich have been waging class warfare for decades
I say bring it on. The current tax code is a massive class warfare machine which has been redistributing wealth upwards for decades. I guess it is only class warfare when there is a possibility a few scraps may flow in the other direction. The whole thing is really sad and is the perfect example of how greed is killing the middle class. I just wish the rich could see the writing on the wall. Who will buy their products when there is no middle class left? Then what will they do to make more money?
The thing that really bugs me about this class warfare ...
.... nonsense is that conservative poor people have been brainwashed into carrying water for wealthy individuals and corporations. You'd think these folks owned serious amounts of stock and were living off dividends and capital gains (which is probably redundant, but I'm a teacher so ...) .
