Class War? Wake Up, America: You're Already In One!

[drakonyx]

Maybe the so-called Buffett Rule is class warfare, and maybe it's not, but make no mistake about this: We are in the middle of a class war, and we have been for years now. The only reason many of us haven't recognized it is that it's so one-sided.

No mortars are being fired and no bombs are being dropped. Even the battle lines are invisible because those of us under siege are too distracted by decoys and ambushes to even guess where they might be. Indeed, many of us have been providing aid and comfort to the enemy without even knowing it.

But who can blame us? We're up against a propaganda machine that's better funded and more sophisticated than anything Hitler or Stalin ever dreamed up. It's something more akin to Orwell's 1984, where clocks strike 13 and 2+2=5. Everything's askew, or even entirely backward. Instead of investing in consumers so they can drive the economic engine - as they historically do - we're investing in the producers ... who promptly jack up prices (because they can afford to do so) and pocket the profits for themselves. That's why they call it "voodoo economics."
