Bipartisanship—I’ll hug your elephant, as soon as you kiss my ass

[kpete]

OBAMA: We’re already hearing the usual defenders of these kinds of loopholes saying, “this is just class warfare.” I reject the idea that asking a hedge fund manager to pay the same tax rate as a plumber or a teacher is class warfare. I think it’s just the right thing to do. I believe the American middle class, who’ve been pressured relentlesly for decades, believe it’s time that they were fought for as hard as the lobbyists and some lawmakers have fought to protect special treatment for billionaires and big corporations.

8. Class warfare is

Trying to kill off unions, fighting against minimum wage, cutting programs such as student loans, incarcerating 1 out of 6 African Americans and having the biggest prison population in the world, fighting against universal health care, and basically killing off the middle class any way possible. If they consider raising taxes on millionaires class warfare they are committing class genocide.

9. We were talking about this in the car earlier this evening....

There was a man standing on a corner holding a sign, begging.
How long does it take to get to the point where they're driving armored cars and worrying about getting shot just leaving their house? It will come to that if this shit keeps going. It will get really really bad before it gets any better. If we're lucky.
