Bush did more to encourage "class warfare" than any other President
What these right-wing hacks seem to forget or ignore is that President Bush gave huge tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans while cutting social programs for those who needed them most, encouraging the destruction of the middle class.

2. Exactly, and so long as corporations exist...
there needs to be high taxes to suck the pools of wealth dry. See the Swedes for why.

3. Everything they do is class warfare, for their class. Yet when anyone else
does anything, they denounce it as "class warfare" as if "class warfare" is forbidden or something.

4. Sadly, the r/w hacks were aware of what Bush was doing and encouraged it.
Now they are like fish out of water, because their safe zone has been destroyed. They miss it, want spending to be halted to get it back, but there's no room in their tiny little pea brains to realize that other people, less wealthy than them, also live in this country and have been screwed. And payback is coming, and a change of thinking, which is more important. Their 'reality' is dying.

5. Give the guy some credit, he was trying to unify us
by making us all poor, including most of those that voted for him.
