Class warfare has, and is being waged on the middle class and the poor for about 35 years now. Corporations and the rich have gotten richer thanks to preferred tax breaks and corporate subsidies (Corporate welfare).
Yet these very same people have waged war on the so called "welfare queens" and those they accuse of being on the public dole, the poor and the middle class. They use their media outlets to beat up on average Americans going through hard times because of the very policies that they themselves (rich, corporations) have bought politicians to put in place to the detriment of average Americans. While sugar coating the corporate welfare/tax breaks that has transferred so much wealth to their bank accounts, from the poor and middle class.
The idea was that the rich and corporations get these breaks and it will spur growth and job creation (supply side economics). The results have been just the opposite, over the last 35 years those very rich and corporations who have been getting preferential treatment have sent millions of jobs overseas and automated their factories eliminating the very jobs they were supposed to create here because of the tax breaks and corporate welfare subsidies they are getting.
But the reality is that over those same 35 years the poor are getting poorer and the middle class is disappearing while the rich corporations bank accounts are getting larger off the backs of the rest of us. But thanks to the corporate friendly media they blame everybody else, while hiding in plain sight the harm they are doing to this country. Very few realize this is happening right under their noses.
Instead of creating jobs they are hoarding money, while people starve. Yet somehow the person who just cant find work is evil because they may need help from the government to just get a plate of food on the table. But the corporate welfare that we the people provide them with through our taxes is fine by them. Its just the little guy who they say is too lazy to work or whatever other BS they come up with. Reality be dammed. Because they say so and control the media their message gets out there. They get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class will soon disappear. Yet everybody has been mislead by their propaganda to blame the little guy, the person going through tough times or the immigrants. The rich and powerful blame everybody else for their greed. Yet they are innocent.
They are creating a new form of economic slavery, the goal being returning to some form of feudal system. A system where they are masters and we the economically enslaved. There are pitting us against each other so we cant see the real problem, which is corporate greed and the hoarding of resources by those who need them the least, at the expense of those who need them the most. Just look around you today, this right wing individualist republican tea party defense of the rich and corporations is destroying the very fabric of society. A society that became great by human beings cooperating with each other and struggling for the common good, is being turned into a competitive Darwinist dog eat dog society.
They even want to eliminate social security which was created so old folks do not have to live in poverty in their twilight years. A popular program created because of a real need to help the elderly that family, church or organizations were unable to keep the elderly from poverty. This successful program is now being targeted because there is supposedly no money, except for corporate welfare that is. Even though social security pays for itself. Why all the talk about it being broke? Thats easy, they want to take the money from the guaranteed system and gamble it on wall st. there are trillions of dollars at stake and the rich greedy corporations will stop at nothing to get their hands on it. They don’t care if the money goes up or down for retirees. As long as they get their guaranteed cut no matter if retirees win or lose. This is what we are up against. Greed for the few at the expense of the many. I wish people would wake up and see how they are being manipulated by these selfish people. Maybe then we can begin to vote out the right wing republican co-conspirators who are aiding and abetting the destruction of our way of life.
Misery, suffering, poverty and hatred, all products of the Right wing, Republicans pro corporations, teajadists, anti average American policies and the real effects they have on regular everyday people. Class warfare is being waged on us. Yet they accuse us of waging it on them because we ask them to pay their fair share. The only thing they care about is making money off us and getting bigger bank accounts. When we no longer suit their needs they’d like to discard us like the trash they consider us to be. I hope its not too late for the American people to realize this and put a stop to it. Otherwise I fear the country we are leaving our children will be something much worse than we have today. A country where 95% of our children will struggle just to feed themselves. While the few (Rich, Corporations) hoard all the money, live like fat cats, and everyone else starves. Sadly, it looks like this may be the final outcome, God help us all.
