45. It's their War on Labor,
but you won't hear about it in the media.

Income from labor will continue to be taxed heavily while income from investments & inheritance will be almost tax free.

Thom Hartmann says "that when the wealthiest in a society take over government & then weaken it so it no longer can represent the interests of the people, the transition has begun into a new era of feudalism."

And "Once the rich & powerful gain control of the government, they turn it upon itself, usually first eliminating its taxation process as it applies to themselves."

We are headed toward a feudalist state & the 21st century feudal lords are the CEOs, BODs & shareholders of American corporations. The rest of us are the serfs & we will continue to have less & less while they have more & more.
