Ending Bush tax cuts is class warfare?

[RadioRaheem84]

I cannot believe what I am hearing on the rabble rousing Fox News and the financial shows in the media! They're actually saying that ending the the Bush tax cuts (donations) to rich people is simply class warfare!

Economists predict that this could save the country 700 Billion dollars if they were to expire this year and these people have the nerve to say that tax cuts for the rich are a necessity for investment. :cursing:

The Obama Administration is acting all apologetically about the tax raises too, so not to offend rich people. A representative was on television nearly blushing and implying that the decision was not class warfare. Who cares?! Let it be class warfare. We need some class warfare in this country.

Warren Buffet had the balls to admit that the rich were conducting class warfare on the rest of us. Why is the government so skiddish about saying that the rich need to give back what they've taken from the pie?

The reality is, the US government needs more income/money to fight the never ending war. Obama is actually privatizing education and cutting social programs. It's best to just turn the TV off :)

Agreed. But of course they won't call it class warfare or insult the rich man. They are nothing but pawns and whores to the rich man. They do not want to bite the hand that feeds them but at the same time they need to make minor reforms to keep the mob of people from getting too wound up. That is pretty much the game of modern politics. Such a wicked web it weaves...

Oh Fox News...you get further right every time I see you.

I imagine in about a decade, they'll be decrying ANY taxation of the rich as class warfare. After all, they earned that money... :rolleyes:

A man who gave capitalists hundreds of billions of dollars because they sank the economy isn't a man who is capable of waging class war against the bourgeoisie.

Well dude, who's the ones really pulling the strings in Washington? You can't be THAT surprised. ;)

If I remember correctly, the context of the Warren Buffet quote was not an admission that the rich were savaging the working class, but that more people from the lower rungs of society were becoming successful and moving up into the upper rungs.

[The Grey Blur]

no, it was definitely a critique of capitalism. he wrote it from a reformist liberal perspective somewhere like the economist or the ft a long time ago, i forget.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Actually, it appears that I was mistaken...it's a quote from him that was published by the NY Times, in his guilty rich man syndrome is on full display.

[Cirno(9)]

Of course its class warfare. Obama is so obviously a socialist. I mean, the man practically swears by Marx.

Sarcasm.
