The secret video of Romney excoriating the less fortunate in our society has done the nation a great service. The class warfare that has been going on forever, but most energetically, in the last 30 years, has been exposed for every American to see.
The middle class and the lower working classes have been robbed by the tax codes and the pay-offs to our politicians since the Reagan years. Wages have stagnated and middle class folks have lost ground and many have lost their homes to the wealthy class manipulating the stock market and the politicians in our nation's Capitol.
But thanks to Mitt Romney, every person in America should be aware of exactly where they stand with the Republican Party and the ruling class of this country. It is about honesty and fairness.
This is the issue that the Occupy Movement has been looking for. This is the proof in the pudding. It is class warfare and the top 1% or 2% have been winning the war. That fact is much clearer today than it was yesterday...
