Reply #19: but it's not economic oppression on purpose

They're just moving numbers around to get the most profit. There's no annimosity. It's the culture of greed. If you want to call that Class Warfare, then we're having a semantic argument, and we can just potato potatoe. My point is that they're not doing it intentionally to hurt people, and the real problem of class warfare is with corporations which put the bottom line ahead of their employees when they're already profitable.

Like say a company already making a good profit, takes away dental coverage and increases the health deductable to 2500 a year for each employee in order to make a bigger profit, which is demanded by the stockholders, or they'll lose their jobs. Is it class warfare? Only to the extent that a capitalist system is inherently one that is always actively engaged in class warfare. Business is about profit.

Heck it occurs within this country. Companies will move from the northeast or rust belt to the southwest lured by tax incentives. Is it class warfare to lay off 10,000 workers in Toledo, and hire 10,000 more at the same wage in Tuscon? Or is it just Capitalism.
