No, Republicans, we are NOT trying to start a class war

This what a person who wants to fight a class war looks like:

And if you push us too far, that's what you are going to get. So, grow up.

4. THEY started it. They just don't like it when people fight back

but they've pushed people to the wall.

6. You can bash some of the workers some of the time

but not all the workers ALL the time.

I think that was one of their own heroes that said that. :crazy:

10. As Buffet has said "It's my class, the rich class, that's making war..."

Mr. Buffett compiled a data sheet of the men and women who work in his office. He had each of them make a fraction; the numerator was how much they paid in federal income tax and in payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare, and the denominator was their taxable income. The people in his office were mostly secretaries and clerks, though not all.

It turned out that Mr. Buffett, with immense income from dividends and capital gains, paid far, far less as a fraction of his income than the secretaries or the clerks or anyone else in his office. Further, in conversation it came up that Mr. Buffett doesn’t use any tax planning at all. He just pays as the Internal Revenue Code requires. “How can this be fair?” he asked of how little he pays relative to his employees. “How can this be right?”

Even though I agreed with him, I warned that whenever someone tried to raise the issue, he or she was accused of fomenting class warfare.

“There’s class warfare, all right,” Mr. Buffett said, “but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”

11. We don't need to; the Republicans and rich already started it. We're just fighting it.

Because I just have not seen it.

[sadbear]

14. Then you haven't been paying attention.

17. Have had one for the last 30 years. Guess you're the guy that lives under the rock in the Geico ad.

16. We're not trying to start a class war

We're trying to end it.

And in case you're confused about who the classes are, there are only two: The class that can afford to attend fifty-thousand-dollar a plate politicial fundraisers...and everyone else.
