Class Warfare or Twilight Zone?

I was blown away at the audacity that the house speaker categorized President Obama’s leadership by stating the President is inciting class warfare when presenting his plan to create jobs and balance the budget.  Maybe Mr. Speaker needs to look up the definition of "class warfare".  The formal definition based on the several societal domains is as follows:

“The phrase "class warfare" refers to the conflicts of interest that arise within every society when a wealthy economic elite arises and exploits its economic advantages so as to obtain still greater wealth and/or political power for itself.”

Get a clue Mr. Speaker; it is just simple math...M  A  T  H! I am sure you were awake in your math and spelling class at least one would hope!  Maybe you need a calculator in order to figure out that the formula that is currently in existence DOES NOT WORK Duhhh!!



Billionaires Buffett and Gates among other mega rich in this country say "Tax Us More"! Warren Buffett, Chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, said that the rich should be paying more taxes and that the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy should be buried at the end of December when they finally expire. 




"If anything, taxes for the lower and middle class and maybe even the upper middle class should even probably be cut further," Buffett said. "But I think that people at the high end -- people like myself -- should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we've ever had it." 


Knock, Knock anyone home? Bottom line...the wealthy should not be taxed less than their secretaries, gardeners and wait staff!
