Whenever you hear "class warfare", "lazy takers", "redistribution", "socialism" etc, consider this:

[Triana]

[Major Nikon]

1. For the most part is isn't wealthy people saying those things

It's their useful idiots.

[Triana]

2. Yes. It's mostly their pimps in the US Congress...

...the majority of whom are millionaires.

[TrollBuster9090]

11. No, they pay other people to say those things. But the fact that they're paying SO MANY people to

say those things is proof they ARE hysterical.

[ChosenUnWisely]

14. Useful idiots=Teahadists

[99th_Monkey]

3. Krugman for Sec. of Treasury

Under Warren/Sanders Administration

[Triana]

4. +1000

Of course we're dreaming. But we CAN dream, can't we?

[99th_Monkey]

5. Yes. And we're not the only ones.

Or so the song goes.

[hifiguy]

19. Yus!!

[Rex]

7. Not just wealthy ones, stupid Rwingers that are part of the working class.

They hate on the government, but when you point out the corporate plutocracy in charge they just laugh nervously. They help enable the wealthy by ignoring the root cause of why they have so little and how hard they have to work for it. Instead they believe the garbage Foxnews feeds them. That CEOs somehow protect the country from...something.

12. I agree the brainwashed right wing working class are the difference maker for republicans.

If we could only teach them....

[TrollBuster9090]

13. The GOP are masters of Politics of Resentment.

What their base votes for: "Keeping the ragheads from killing me, the niggers from robbing me, the beaners from taking my job, and the fags from kissing each other in front of me."

What their base GETS: "Attacks on your social security and medicare, carte blanche for factories to pollute your water, a 15% tax rate for the people who OWN the factories, and the privilege of going to fight endless wars to secure the oil they burn in those factories."

[GoneFishin]

17. The republican party struck it rich when they began to systematically cultivate and exploit the

personality defect in the useful idiot right wing base that is so easily tricked into voting against their own best interests.

I don't talk to "conservatives" about politics anymore. I have proven time and time again that if I want to know what they think I only need to listen to any right wing talking head for 2 minutes, then I can accurately judge what bumper sticker slogan is being regurgitated in the minds of every rightie on the street, including my own family.

I find it very frustrating that people who otherwise seem modestly bright can be reliably programmed like a goddamned zombie cult when it comes to anything relating to excusing the misdeeds of corrupt business leaders, or condemning the behavior of the poor or minorities.

20. it's these cretins. Leading themselves to the slaughter.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

8. The "deer in the headlights" look doesn't fit the quote.

[JDPriestly]

9. K&R.

[Jamaal510]

10. When I hear those terms,

it has almost always been safe for me to assume that the person using them doesn't know they're talking about or the meaning of them.

[Ichingcarpenter]

15. kick/nom n/t

[Cha]

16. They want MORE.. gorge ON MORE.. don't want to pay their fair share. Infrastructure? firemen?

Not for them to contribute to.

[colsohlibgal]

18. Welfare For Multi Billionaires

They've flipped the whole conversation around, right out of Lewis Powell's long game treatise from the early 70s.

They rail against class warfare but they are doing it, filthy rich over the middle class and poor.

All enabled by too many poor and middle class folks being played like a fiddle and oblivious to that fact. So both are co conspirators in this mess.

[hifiguy]

21. Socialism for the rich

and the sharpest possible end of capitalism for everyone else.

[MohRokTah]

22. Class warfare has been an ongoing problem for several millenia.

The rich started it and have been waging war on everybody who isn't rich ever since.

[TheKentuckian]

23. and consider WHILE you watch your pockets and their tentacles

because if they should happen to not be in yours they are in someone's and the difference is just place in the line this time around.
