Reply #11: Sadly, It Never Had, But What Irks Me So...

...is that it's alive and well, and even thrives within the majority of that "non-wealthy majority" you've pointed out in your post who are, in truth, acknowledgeable, stubborn, and haunted by one, or two wedge issues they been so injured by sometime in their lives (or those lives of loved ones) that they just can't see clearly, and staunchly continue to vote against their best financial interests and well-being, and help facilitate the proliferation of "taking from the poor to give to the rich".

Yes, class warfare is alive and growing, but what most don't seem to understand is, is that the rich to uber-rich in this country are the ones winning the class-war because just about ALL Republicans and a handful of Democrats in government (like Rep. Meeks in New York!) are corruptible and help them keep the status quo.

I mean, HOW can Americans think that having universal health-care is a negative thing? How can Americans not see that there is more than enough money in corporations for a living wage since it's a public secret CEOs and other high-ranking executives get get anywhere between 500 to 1000 times MORE than their average employee??

How could our Democratic senators and representatives in Congress allow this discriminatory, idiotic bankruptcy reform bill pass without so much as a whimper, knowing that the drafters of that bill are credit corporations that benefit solely from it??

To Clinton's credit, he vetoed this unchanged bill twice during his presidency, and threatened to veto it again (when they threatened to present the bill unchanged for a third time) should it pass through Congress without more protections for the least affluent in our country, and one needs to ask himself just how this bill could've passed in both the House and Senate while Democrats are still there to stop it--and didn't.

I just don't get it...
