The handy dandy guide to class warfare
Edited on Fri Oct-28-11 11:36 AM by ck4829
By now, you've probably the term "Class Warfare" thrown about. It does get mentioned... a lot. And most often it is used as a thought terminating cliche and that's supposed to be the last word, that sort of thing. But what exactly IS class warfare? Well, we have created this very useful manual that you can use to find out if something is "class warfare" or if it's how true American citizens should act.

-Dividing Americans-
Trying to turn Americans against gays, Muslims, unmarried women, liberals, etc. - Go ahead and do this
Trying to point out how the wealthy have loopholes they can use to exploit the law, how they pay taxes, etc. - CLASS WARFARE! DO NOT MENTION!

-Scapegoating-
Blaming the country's problems on the poor, the Muslims, the gays, liberals, etc. - You know it's OK
Trying to hold the corporations and the wealthy accountable - NOOOOO!!!! This hurts America!

-Unfairness-
Complaining that employees in unions get paid slightly more than employees who are not in unions - Cool
Pointing out that executive pay has skyrocketed about 400% without a similar increase in entry level employee pay - ALERT! NO! NO! ABORT! DO NOT TALK ABOUT THIS!

And more.

2. As a friend of mine says,
they only call it class warfare when we fight back.
