Why is it that the MSM only calls it CLASS WARFARE when THEY have to pay more taxes?

[Donnachaidh]

I was really repulsed with the big CLASS WARFARE graphic on MsNBC.

I didn't see anything like that during Katrina, when people were drowning in their homes waiting for help.

I didn't see anything like this when they reported on corporations closing plants in the US, and opening them in other countries.

I didn't see this graphic when Bush and Paulson gave money to Wall Street with no strings attached.

But they get their knickers in a knot and start screaming bloody murder when the ones who are going to get hit with a modest tax increase. And the shrillness is stunning.

I'm so SICK of sitting back and watching the machinations of the corporate wealth class. They know NOTHING about what is happening in Main Street -- and they obviously don't WANT to know either. I'm sick of the "ME FIRST" attitudes.

We need to fight back. We need the Freeway Bloggers out in force AGAIN.

1. It would help if the MSM had members that didn't make over 250k a year.

Honestly they are all terribly overpaid.

2. BINGO! Round goes to Donnachaidh!

FDR: Isn't that Donnachaidh amazing?
ER: Yes, Donnachaidh is such a dear...

3. It's only class warfare when the rich think they are being attacked.

When the poor suffer, it's character building, if you ask Rick Santorum...

4. It's such an echo chamber

I wonder if they've clued into the fact that the proles aren't buying it anymore.

5. If it involves the media whores, it should be "no-class warfare."

...or "warfare on those with no class."

Remins me of this exchange from "Back to School" (1986)
Diane: Actually, I'd like to join you, but I have class tonight.
Thornton Melon: Oh. How 'bout tomorrow night?
Diane: I have class then, too.
Thornton Melon: I'll tell you what, then. Why don't you call me some time when you have no class?

6. They want Class Warfare??? The Middle Class had to foot the bill

for the War in Iraq and Afghanistan while the Upper Class got Taxcuts.
BTW the Middle Class got a double whammy. Their kids had to fight the
war and Middle Class get stuck with the bill.

They get the Billions in Bailouts and complain when we try to help
get rid of the Bad Mortgage Problems---act as though the Middle Class
should pay for Billions--God forbid the Middle Class should not
have any help.

7. You got that right.

Now it's their turn, and they are going to whine and cry about it! A vast majority of them have accounts in offshore banks that they don't pay taxes on, they have loopholes to avoid taxes they should pay, and over the last 8 years they have made out great! Let them whine and cry, it's their turn to step up to the plate and take their medicine!
