I would say that he is pushing the point of disparity. Yet, class warfare implies dramatic and irrational measures in order to eliminate or at least lessen the gap.

i'm pretty sure that war was set up when the rich bought our government in the 80s and set up a system that greatly benefited the wealthy at the expense of destroying the middle class in this country. while at the same time brainwashing the uneducated in this country to worry about hispanics people and abortion so they would vote these clowns into office.

we're just taking back what's ours

True reality will set in soon for you.....I hope.

The 'bad rich' did not take anything from you or anyone else. They did not destroy the middle class.

However, the leftie loonies HAVE brainwashed people - your comments being case and point. The amount of people expecting handouts and entitlements is just disgusting. The idiot demwits ranting about ''investing in our future" seem to forget the fact that we have NO money. Or wait, I forget, the BRAINWASHED idiots think we can just take if from the rich.

Sad, pathetic, and disgusting.....also getting really old.

Not that I can see.

A full-blown class war is needed b/c the wealthy are doing nothing but creating more poverty. Us "little people" outnumber them by large numbers, but they have bread and circuses, and control of propaganda outlets like Fox News to distract and brainwash the masses.

The French during the revolution there knew how to deal with the elite, Che Guevara knew how to deal with the elite. If things don't change they will get to that point again.

i'm not expecting any handouts.

i do pretty damn well for myself.

last i checked expecting my government to not be severely in debt, expecting them to maintain the road, bridges, and other infrastructure of this country, expecting them to provide an acceptable education to the children of the country, and expecting them to be able to provide safety on our streets is not asking for a hand out. it's asking for my tax dollars to do what they're supposed to be doing.

i paid my share of the taxes.

i want the corporations and wealthy in this country to pay theirs.

I hope that YOU wake up.

1. The disparity between rich and poor was much greater in the early 1900s US.

2. Creation of wealth and industry does not create more poor people. Witness the difference between the US and Uganda.

3. The media is completely controlled by the left. Fox is the only conservative television station. ABC, CBS,NBC, MSNBC, and CNN are all liberal. Nearly every news paper in America is liberal.

4. Communism in the 20th century, as it is today, is really authoritarian socialism. The leftists have been duped into believing that socialist systems have more equality and freedom for the masses, when in fact they are for the most part totalitarian states. Those who pine for a totalitarian state shame the efforts of the American Revolution and the concept of personal liberty. If you have not succeeded in America, blame yourself.

We're well on our way to exceeding that disparity.

If wealth and industry are created here...creating wealth and industry in China doesn't help us much.

No matter what the letter, all are propaganda tools of the elite. Fox just happens to be #1 in viewership, the rest are largely ignored.

That used to be true, but not anymore. The 50 year old who possesses a master's degree in a tech field with extensive skills who has done most everything right who gets laid off is the exception. With the insane amount of unemployment we have, this person may lose their home, burn through their savings, and end up destitute. It happens a lot in today's economy. We should not blame that individual for his situation, as that person is a victim of a broken, and corrupt system.

Of course he's fomenting class envy. It's his -and the democrat party's -stock in trade.

After all that's exactly what his communist mentor Saul Alinsky taught him.
