Class warfare? What might have once been class warfare is over and the rich won.

However a Guardian journalist reiterates Buffet's point that the rightwing's fixation with class war is going to rekindle class consciousness in America. I say bring it on.


:woohoo:

they need to see through the lies.

5. A relatively small percentage of Americans are engaged in the struggle
but to get an effective mass ovement people need to develop class consciousness and IMO Buffet is bang on when he warns his fellow billionaires that yammering on about class warfare when faced with tax hikes will rekindle class consciousness.
