Liberals War on Wealthy: A Quagmire!

All the blood, treasure, sweat and tears, invested by pinhead liberals who have waged all-out war on the rich, and for what? Well of course, it's to benefit politically from it. It is through class warfare, the democrats seek to tap into the jealous emotions of those who are the "have-nots" in society. It's easy to charge these emotions with rhetoric, because a vast majority of Americans have been raised without manners or respect for others, they really have no moral foundation, so it's easy to blame all your problems on someone else. There isn't much spiritual foundation left, so the notion of coveting your neighbor's things, never enters their warped little minds.

Class warfare is nothing new, it has gone on for centuries as a means of shaping politics, and for the better part of the past century, has been the most frequently used tool of the socialist progressives. We continue to see it deployed daily, as the liberals attempt to pull a few more over to the dark side. Why do they do it? Because it works! The ignorant, gullible, and dumb, will ultimately be on the front-line of this war. Leading the charge to hate the wealthy, soak the rich, redistribute the wealth in the name of social justice!

I can't recall who said it, but it was a noted economist of the time, he said, if you took all of the wealth of the world and equally distributed it out to every man, woman, and child across the board, that within 20 years, relatively the same disproportional gaps in class would exist again. It is part of the human condition, some men strive for prosperity more than others. Some people have more drive and ambition than others, we are not all equal in our levels of motivation, or need for accomplishment. People who have amassed great wealth, are very good at making money, they would again make good money. Subsequently, those who are not very wise with the coin, would soon find themselves the "victim of misfortune" again. In 20 years, everyone is right back to where they started from.

What does this all mean? Well, it means there can never be an end to the War on The Rich! It's a quagmire, like Vietnam and Iraq! Even if the above-noted scenario were to somehow come to fruition, there would still be liberals clamoring for some restriction on the money-smart people! It's not fair that HE comes up with all the great ways to make a fortune, and I DON'T! So... the Class War would continue. It's not a winnable war, or a war that can have a satisfactory conclusion. Just another endless quagmire, orchestrated for the sole purpose of advancing socialism.
 
Damn Dixie open your eyes. The redistribution of wealth has been up to the top 2% for the last 30 yrs. Trickle-down and deregulation has not worked for the American people. The middle class will be wiped out in a couple of years at our present rate. We're in trouble here because of your way of thinking.

Damn Dixie, you should be the last person on earth to use the word quagmire. I screamed that word at you guys years ago about Iraq and you spouted the faux news propaganda lines popular at the time.

My way of thinking? My way of thinking is, there shouldn't be this class warfare "redistribution of wealth" bullshit even going on! There should be an understanding that, no matter what we could ever possibly do, there will always be people who have more (and less) than others, there is not a way to make life FAIR! My way of thinking is for us to come to the realization Class Warfare is a pointless means to an impossible end, and is only being perpetuated by those who seek to implement a socialist system of government.

What works for the American people, is for government to make it as easy as possible for ANY American, to take their imagination and ambition, and make their dream happen. You can't do this by punishing success! The more you "regulate" the more you establish road blocks for these Americans to realize their dreams. The more you tax them, the more impossible you make it for them to achieve prosperity. You have a warped and twisted view of "the rich" ...you envision someone making $200k a year, as living in a mansion with bathtubs full of money, lighting their cigars with $100 bills! In reality, it's a self-employed carpenter and his wife who is a teacher. It's Americans trying to realize the American Dream and become successful. It's a Persian-born citizen who has saved his money wisely and invested in convenience stores, now owns a chain of them, just like his brother. These are not people who are living in the lap of luxury, they are just average Americans. Yet, to a Liberal committed to the War on The Rich, they are the fat old guy in the top hat on the Monopoly game!

Sorry, if you want to hijack the thread to talk about Iraq or Fox News, you'll need to start a new thread, homie ain't playing the game today.

He's also the last person that should be lecturing others on manners and respect for others, but...WOW...there he is doing just that.
 
I'm not hijacking your thread but I think my point was made.

I actually agree with your 1st paragraph except I'd change the last sentence to this...

My way of thinking is for us to come to the realization Class Warfare is a pointless means to an impossible end, and is only being perpetuated by those who seek to implement a corporate controlled fascist system of government.

When Wal-Mart, with their cheap chinese junk moves into the Persian store owners community he is out of business. You've seen it happen and so have I. How can you be for the American Dream when you've voted against it for years?

When I say 'the rich' I'm talking about Bush's Base, not small, local business owners who are the backbone of this country and are being wiped out by the same tight money trickle-down Republicon ideology that you support. Giving $700 billion to the rich won't create jobs. The money has to come from the bottom up in order to save this country.
 
Class warfare has been the bread-and-butter of the Democratic Party since 1828. It will continue to be so until the day it finally starves to death. Nothing really new about this observation of Dixie's.
 
Class conflict is a term long-used mostly by socialists, communists, and many anarchists, who define a class by its relationship to the means of production.

From this point of view, the social control of production and labour is a contest between classes, and the division of these resources necessarily involves conflict and inflicts harm.

Where societies are socially divided based on status, wealth, or control of social production and distribution, conflict arises.
And these conflicts are the stoked and feed by Marxist and Anarchists, and Communists.
Except in the US it is the Democrats that feed and keep alive the war between the classes...

The heros....Karl Marx, Frederick Engels, Peter Kropotkin, Breg Palast, etc...

The heros in the US...Democratic Party leaders,...Harry Reid, Dick Durban, Obama, Clinton, Pelosi...Hollywood elite..
Soros.....oddly enough, the richest of the rich, those above it all, that can't and won't be affected by the class struggle and trouble and conflict in the least......

And these people are whining about losing a tax cut? Cry me a river. I'll be happy to pay their tax rate when I get their wealth.

Jim McDermott was interviewed on NPR this PM and he said: in 1980 the top 5% controlled $8 trillion of the wealth; today they control $40 trillion. The middle class is shrinking and stooges like Dixie can only talk about rearranging the deck chairs.

Without any comparisons what are we suppose to take away from those numbers? Obviously the top 5% increased the amount of their holdings but is it a zero sum game where the middle class must lose?
 
Come and visit here in Pgh. and I'll show you.

That's not wealth. Wealth are people that live on my street in $20 to $30 million homes and those are just one of the homes they own.

I'm from Ohio I know what small towns look like. Even if you make $250k/yr in a town where homes only cost $100k that doesn't make you wealthy.

Show me the number showing the middle class has gained. please.
 
From 2007: "An article in The Washington Times alerted me to research from 6th November by Michael Franc at The Heritage Foundation. Mr Franc shows that the wealthiest Americans are increasingly likely to vote Democrat:

"Democrats now control the majority of the nation's wealthiest congressional jurisdictions. More than half of the wealthiest households are concentrated in the 18 states where Democrats control both Senate seats. This new political demography holds true in the House of Representatives, where the leadership of each party hails from different worlds. Nancy Pelosi, Democratic leader of the House of Representatives, represents one of America's wealthiest regions. Her San Francisco district has more than 43,700 high-end households. Fewer than 7,000 households in the western Ohio district of House Republican leader John Boehner enjoy this level of affluence."
