"I chuckle at the assertion by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., that President Barack Obama is waging “class warfare” by asking the richest Americans to share the tax burden with the rest of us.

In A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century, Barbara Tuchman wrote about a peasant revolt in 1358 that began in the French village of St. Leu and spread throughout the Oise Valley.

At one estate, the serfs sacked the manor house, killed the knight and roasted him on a spit in front of his wife and kids. Then, after a dozen or so peasants violated the knight’s lady, with their children watching, they forced her to eat the roasted flesh of her husband and then killed her.

Now, that’s my idea of class warfare."

1. That's some harsh words

But considering what the working stiffs have put up with the past few decades, it might be a good turnaround.

2. I don't think she meant it as a recommendation

she was just making a point. It didn't occur to me how it might be taken until after I had posted it.
