Yet, in the real world the bullets of class warfare have been fired against poor, working poor, and middle class families in this country. When we cut school funds that's class ware against the poor. When we build prisons targeting minor offenses that class warfare against the poor. When we bailout banks and hedge fund managers without a second thought that's also class warfare against the poor. When we invade other nations and send high school kids,middle class kids, and poor whites to do battle for us that's also class warfare against the poor. When we allow money to play an uninhibited role in our elections that's also class warfare against the poor. When we make free trade deals without the consent of the people that's also class warfare against the poor................But how come these class wars never make it to the evening news???
