how's the class war working out for you? 

--bank "bailout" giveaway

--death of real health care reform

--the "gigonomy"

--more than half of all mortgages underwater by 2011

--median income continuing to plummet

--wealth of top 1% continuing to grow

--continuing illegal "wars" of occupation

--lack of any meaningful reinstatement of government regulation of corporations in any industry

Well, thanks for noticing, DUmmy leftofdial. Since your man LBJ started it, the class war has been going pretty darn well. We don't like this recent slump in real estate prices, but you can be sure that many of us, and none of you, will make another fortune off that aberration. We hope to be rid of this Kenyan socialist no later than 2012, but in the meantime there's no doubt we will do very, very well, and you will continue to complain and suffer. There's just some kind of fundamental difference between winners and losers, DUmmy leftofthedial, and you're on the wrong side of that divide.

The rest of this thread is just an exercise in freudenschade:

2. What class?
Can't seem to find the one I fit into .... Is there a "formerly upper middle class" ? Somewhere between treading water and bankrupt?

7. And because many cannot face that ugly truth, we get the horrible situation we've got
 Class warfare (started by the upper class, mind you) has been raging in America for decades.

Those who can't face the truth are making things worse.

 

DUmmy ThomCat goes against the DUmp's conventional wisdom that you CAN trust a Chicago dem politician:

5. The so called "most progressive president ever"
according to his fans here, is an active combatant in that war. Unfortunately, he's fighting for Goldman Sachs, not us.
So there is no way the class war is going to slow down any time soon.

Class warfare was started by the upper class?  If there is such a thing, then I'd think any sane person would agree that it really originates from the lower class screaming that the upper class should pay 90% taxes so that the lower class doesn't have to work.

Well let's face it, they have no class anyway.

Honestly, everything bad that's happening to you guys (Bad from your point of view, that is) is directly attributable to your own bad judgment for believing a word the Democrat candidates said in the first place.  Not like any of you will ever figure that out, though.

ThomCat hit the nail on its head, he is sure to be tombstoned sooner or later

--continuing illegal "wars" of occupation

And yet still no calls for impeachment and frog marching Obama and his gang to the Hague.
