I considered just ignoring his post hoping that it was just some kind of ironic joke. I don't know how anyone can look around and see unemployment running to its highest levels in three decades and seeing corporate profits running to their highest levels in that same period and think that the rich are the victims.Yeah, those household paid 0 in federal taxes, like GE correct? And if we taxed this group more wouldn't they have less money to spend in the general economy? I would submit that actually keeping taxes lower on this group helps the wealthy as much as anyone as these people then BUY more goods and services and those profits go to the wealthy.
And you just COMPLETELY ignore all data that shows that the wealthy are getting wealthier relative to the lowest income earners. If the rich were getting soaked and the poor were ripping them off HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?
The New York Times said:I warned that whenever someone tried to raise the issue, he or she was accused of fomenting class warfare.
Theres class warfare, all right, Mr. [Warren] Buffett said, but its my class, the rich class, thats making war, and were winning.
