Reply #11: WE are not the Dems who are afraid of the class warfare issue. [View All]

It's some of the Dems in Congress because they are hypocritical when it comes to accusing Republicans of being fatcats. Some of these Dems are pretty rich, too. For all the Rep. LaSalle's there are Democratic congress members who are making out pretty well. They don't want to risk the skeletons in their own closets being revealed. I don't think there are as many as in the repub. party, tho.

The larger issue is that the issue has failed us, the Democratic Party, in the past. I remember during the Reagan administration it was called "the working poor." The Dems tried to use that phrase to point out that people can work (as opposed to being lazy good for nothings on welfare) and still be poor. I heard republicans in my own family say "I'm sick of hearing about the working poor!" And my family wasn't rich.
