"We're just throwing money at the poor, but they keep throwing it back to us!" cried the wealthy 1%
At least, that's what you would have to believe if you watched the montage on the repeat of "The Daily Show".

A sea of middle-aged white Republicans in expensive suits saying it was the DEMOCRATS who love to wage "class warfare" and not those egalitarian Republicans.

The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer, the middle-class is being squeezed into the working-class and poor... and I'm suppose to believe this is some kind of accident?





I'm really suppose to believe that the people of the red line (top 1%) are doing their damnest to NOT get 23% of the income in this country, year after year after year?

I'm really suppose to believe that the top 10%, which takes home half of all the income generated annually, ISN'T using the power and free speech of that money to give the advantage to themselves? Really???



I may have been born during the day, but it sure as hell wasn't yesterday!


Sorry, Rand Paul and the rich white conservatives shills in the montage, but winning the class war is the ONE victory that you'll never ever ever mention. Ever. Never never never ever.


Ever.

2. They define warfare differently. The Ayn Rand types think that the only moral baseline is pure
market value, and anything done to reduce inequality is "class warfare" by definition.
