Class warfare by the rich has always been taking place since the country was founded - and by the nobility in England before that.
The wealthy got ahold of some nuclears weapons 30 years ago, is what changed.
And it's a cycle of taking power by them, the more wealth they take, the more powerful they get, and the more they take again.
93% of economic recovery since 2008 going to the top 1%, what else do you need?
Is it any wonder there is no candidate for President who doesn't serve them, basically, with the Republicans nominating someone with only one principle, helping the wealthy, who is a caricature at his phony pandering to say anything that will get him votes in his current election?
Thurston Romney III 2012.
I've long said, as they gain more power, this stops being about their controlling who's elected, and starts being about gutting the very system of democracy for the people.
How do the people get their country back if they don't act before it gets worse? Another 'revolution'? No. Nothing gets it back at that point.
When that happens, people are simply not given the power over things affecting the wealthy; they get a toy government that passes national awareness days.
And they're grateful for that.
We already have 25% of the nation oblivious praising their masters for saving them from the Kenyan Muslim - what happens when that become 90%?
It's the USSR all over again, except instead of chanting communist mantras to hide the corruption, you chant Republican mantras about 'freedom' to hide the corruption.
Instead of state-driven ideology enslaving workers, it's private tycoons controlling all the resources enslaving them.
That's not hunger, boy, it's freedom hunger! Celebrate it!
The fact Romney has even 5% support shows we have a class of oblivious, ignorant, brainwashed ideologues who are a menace to themselves and the country.
On the basis of what? Nothing more than money telling them to.
Not his positions - where you can't name perhaps even one he hasn't changed.
Not his 'ability to fix the economy' where his corporate raiding has almost nothing to do with good government, his party ran the economy into the biggest crisis since the Great Depression and has offered nothing to improve it, the one issue he took a clear position on was the auto bailiouts and he got it wrong - and is now lying about the position he took - not his 'support for working moms' against an attack he made up, and has a record of actually saying the thing he falsely accuses Democrats of saying... on and on.
Mitt Romney is the joke that follows the winning of the 'class war' by the only side fighting it while they lie that it's the 99% who are fighting it.
Where every government policy favoring them is not the government doing it while helping the American people is big government.
Where the wealth they extract from the people of the country, 'they made', while any share of the wealth the people generate they ask for is envy.
It's plutocracy, and only idiots who cheer it.
Republican propagandists are notorious for lying with a phrase. Twisting words like freedom into poisonous policies. 'Class warfare' is like having a black man stick up a white man and demand his money and when the white man says 'that's wrong', the robber says 'are you a racist!? You better not be, shut up and give me your money'.
'Shut up and give me your money' is the real motto of the Republican party and the Romney campaign, class warfare a perverse lie as they rob.
