Rich Class beating 99% to a pulp
Commentary: War began 30 years ago, with 1% winning big-time

By Paul B. Farrell, MarketWatch


SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — Yes, “there is class warfare, all right,” declared Warren Buffett. “But it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”

Yes, the Rich Class is at war with you, with the 99%, a war against America. This class war actually started a generation ago, in 1981 when Ronald Reagan became president. Since then, the Rich Class has been winners. Big-time. And the 99% are the losers. Real big-time.

I am going to keep reminding you over and over of this Rich Class declaration of war and how they’re defeating America.

Why more reminders? Because, except for Buffett, the vast majority of the Rich Class really are engaged in a massive cover-up, a widespread conspiracy that includes the Super Rich, Forbes 400 billionaires, Wall Street bank CEOs, all their high-paid Washington lobbyists, all the Congressional puppets they keep in office by spending hundreds of millions on campaign payola and all the conservative presidential candidates praying the same Rich Class dogma. ............(more)

3. There are no conspiracies! It can't be!

4. It's not a conspiracy when we can back it up with hard facts -

5. You do know...

what this means right? "Why more reminders? Because, except for Buffett, the vast majority of the Rich Class really are engaged in a massive cover-up, a widespread conspiracy". A conspiracy isn't a conspiracy without true facts. Without facts it would be a hypothesis.

6. I was thinking more along the lines that it certainly hasn't been a secret -

I may have expressed that inaccurately. I may also be wrong - others may think it's been covert. :)

But they're definitely doing it - that I can say for certain.
