War
"War on drugs" "War on terror" "War on Poverty" "Class warfare"... none of these things is really war, but we do fight. Poor people haven't been fighting lately. Not since they fell in love with Ronald Reagan, who told them America would be great again if we cut taxes "Across the board"... of course the rich made out like bandits. The rich haven't stopped fighting. They do it quietly with lawyers, lobbyists, massive campaign contributions... so our progress toward neo-feudalism has been distinct since 1980 [we are stratified like we haven't been since the 1920s] If our country is going to be strong and grow and continue to have dynamic entrepeurs we must have a strong middle class that can afford to educate huge numbers of our young people. For that we need MORE class warfare not less. We need the bulk of Americans to have the time and money to spend doing homework with their kids learning and growing and building families and communities. It takes a village and with everybody working two or three jobs, nobody is in the village. Nobody is with the kids at all. We need a HUGE middle class tax cut. NOT just the peanuts McCain is offering.
