This diary introduces a new group at the Daily Kos which is Class Warfare Newsletter: The Plutocracy VS the Working Class. We have over 300 members and about 100 followers and we ask you to join us and stand in solidarity with working class people and union members. If you're reading this and you're not at the Daily Kos, we ask you start your own class warfare group on your own blogs and message boards. Help us both around the country and around the world get the word out that working people and union brothers and sisters must stand together or we will certainly fall apart and so will the working class dream for a better life, for ourselves and our children.
If you're a writer or diarist or someone who frequently makes comments, we need your help. We need your support to stand up, speak out and speak truth to power. The truth is we are fed up as hell and we're not going to take it anymore. No more union busting. No more privatizing profit and socializing financial risk with the next coming Wall Street crash which is reported to be on its way by the mainstream European media.
US media ignores Germany's Spiegel's report that Wall St committed a monumental insider bank robbery
Just like in any war in the plutocrat GOP led class warfare, there are working class
casualties. Here's what the working class casualties look like in America.
59 million Americans without health insurance; 132 millionwho don't have dental insurance; 60 million who don't have any paid sick leave; 40 million who are on food stamps.
New study finds 45,000 deaths annually linked to lack of health coverage
Uninsured, working-age Americans have 40 percent higher death risk than privately insured counterparts

Please watch this one minute video about the Tea Party led GOP class warfare in America.
As an American expat living in the European Union, I can tell you that no government in the European Union humiliates the poor by forcing them to use a food stamp card in the grocery checkout line. In the European Union, everyone receives paid sick leave, everyone receives some type of dental plan and universal medical care. While we can all be proud Americans, surely we don't have to proud of the broken American social safety net. There in defense of the American working class dream, we must do better.
Fellow kossacks, union brothers and sisters, in defense of working class values and the American dream, I invite you to follow me below the fold.
If you don't think the warfare of the plutocracy against the American working class isn't real, please consider the words of Warren Buffet. Even as far back as 2005, he predicted that his class was winning the class warfare and that was before Wisconsin woke America up to the truth of the union busting Tea Party minions at Fox Nation like Glenn Beck and Gov. Scott Walker.

New Civil War erupts, led by super rich, GOP
Commentary: ‘Shock Doctrine,’ Reaganomics trigger explosive class war
By Paul B. Farrell, MarketWatch
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — Yes, “there’s class warfare, all right,” warns Warren Buffett. “But it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.” Yes, the rich are making war against us. And yes, they are winning. Why? Because so many are fighting this new American Civil War between the rich and the rest.
Not just the 16 new GOP governors in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Florida, and across America fighting for new powers. Others include: Chamber of Commerce billionaires, Koch brothers, Forbes 400, Karl Rove’s American Crossroads, Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform — which now has 97% of House Republicans and 85% of the GOP Senators signed on his “no new taxes” pledge — the Tea Party and Reaganomics ideologues.
Wake up America. You are under attack. Stop kidding yourself. We are at war.

The ultra rich for millenia have been able to turn one part of the working class against the other. So it is that the billionaire Koch brothers financed the creation of the American Tea Party but before than the plutocracy's Wall Street banksters tried to crash the financial system in a move to privatize profits and socialize financial risk.

Rich class is making war against poor, and winning
In May 2005, Warren Buffett, the world's richest man, told CNN, "There's class warfare all right, but it's my class, the rich class, that's making war, and we're winning."
This concerted attack on unions and the working people they represent is witness to Buffett's apologetic statement. The national Republican agenda is fueled by big money and big greed. This entire financial "crisis" was put in place by Wall Street and hundreds of Bernie Madoffs.
Now that the bill comes due, it is handed off to working people as if they, or the poor, caused the problem.

(British Guardian newspaper) Wisconsin: a pivotal moment for American unions
Posted by Michael Tomasky - Thursday 10 March 2011
This is class warfare of a sort we haven't seen in the US in a long time. Walker and his party have gone too far. Polls will affirm this in the next few days. This could be a pivotal moment in trade union history in the US. No, it is a pivotal moment.
Which way will the pendulum swing? The union movement has a great opportunity here: it will never look more sympathetic to your average person than it does right now. The goal must be to keep it that way.

The rich plutocrats and American corporations just will not pay their fair share of the taxes. They're happy to bankrupt the country if only it means enriching themselves.
