We the 99% are fed up with the 1% buying out the politicians, running our foreign policy, promoting wars not in our interests, sending "foreign aid" to a racist foreign state and supporting every dictator around the world in the name of "freedom."
Every single politician is in the pocket of some ultra-rich special interest. When Bill Gates or Steve Ballmer tell the government to allow in more "guest workers" to take jobs in the US, our politicians simply ask "how many you need?" without any thought of their own constituents whom they supposedly represent.
We don't want these Middle East wars yet both parties try to convince us of their necessity (anyone remember Obama's pledge of "change" which included ending the wars? Apparently he's no different than GW; Democrats=Republicans).
Our current system will only lead everyone to the poorhouse except for the 1% who are raking it in.
We don't have a true capitalist system. It is socialism for the rich. When the bank executives fleece their own companies with mega-million dollar compensation packages, leading their own companies to fail, the government simply bails them out so they can continue to collect their multi-million dollar payouts.
For them it's like hitting the lotto every year, year after year...literally !
All the while putting all the rest of us in the poor house and saying "class warfare never created a job !"
"Creating jobs" is a euphemism for ever more executive and shareholder compensation.
Class warfare has been waged by the 1% (like the Koch brothers, Larry Ellison, Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer, Rupert Murdoch) against all the rest of us.
There is class warfare but it was not started by the 99%.
Without a free media, democracy is impossible.
The ultra-rich elite have tight control over all the media.
They literally filter what you are allowed to see.
Without a free media, you will never be able to make responsible decisions. Thus democracy is made impossible.
All true, and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves. Consequently, I have posted a 1-page Summary of the Strategic Legal Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:

indeed, its rather stupid of them to cry "class warfare" when thats what THEY went and did secretly against all the middle class. now that 50 million peeps just joined poverty back again from the middle class due to how successful the class wars have been.. its rather evil and funny that the little scoundrels can cry out "class warfare" when thats what they have been doing to us all along. Class warfare indeed. all we want is for the class wars they started to end.

According to a 2008 article by David Rothkopf, the world’s 1,100 richest people have almost twice the assets of the poorest 2.5 billion (Rothkopf, 2008). Aside from the obvious problem – that this global elite has their hands in everything from politics to financial institutions – …

To the extent that we, the people, are removed from control over our lands, marketplaces, central banks, and media we are no longer empowered. In practice, those few who do control the land, central bank, media and "free market" are the real rulers of our corrupt and declining "democracy."
Due to propaganda from a corporate-owned and edited media we are kept from knowing, much less debating, the nature of our system. Due to a central bank owned by bankers, media owned by a few global concerns, and trade regime controlled by global corporations (i.e., one designed to remove the people from control over their markets and environments) the vast majority have become little more than latter-day serfs and neo-slaves upon a corporate latifundia.
To restore a semblance of effective democracy and true freedom Americans, and people around the world, need to re-educate themselves as to the true nature of their political and economic systems. Toward this end, OligarchyUSA.com is dedicated to providing old and new information, books, links, reform ideas and debates not easily found or accessed today in establishment media.
OligarchyUSA.com is but one more site and sign of the times as ground-up counter-revolutions arise around the world... all in response to a forced and freedomless globalization courtesy of a ruling global elite perfecting their top-down plutocracy and revolutions of the rich against the poor. In short, democracy is no longer effective today. For this reason, it is toward a restoration of truly effective and representative democracies, and natural freedom, that this site is dedicated.
This is not class warfare. This is about a rigged game.
If you do not have money to pay your house, you get foreclosed. If a bank does it, the Government bails them out. Thus capitalism for you and a walled garden for them. A rigged game.
So Bill Gates and Steve Jobs started a war against you? You poor thing!
no the class warfare is being started by the .001 in control, to pit the rich against the poor, don't fall for it, if you work your ass off and have good ideas that help many people, shouldn't you be able to keep what you earn and be able to provide for your family for generations to come? for many rich people this is just the case, they aren't greedy, thats just the lifestyle they were born into, they aren't our enemy, the system is.
Exactly. Class warfare is a concept used by politicians to divide people. Greedy people are equal opportunity screwers. They will screw over anyone to make money - rich, poor or middle class. It isn't like they are plotting to take money away from the poor. The problem is they are stealing tax payers' money which otherwise could have been used to help people. I agree it's kind of unfair to the poor in that way. Just being rich is not wrong. Neither is trying to become rich. Doing it at the expense of others is wrong.
