1. the "Class War" becomes one between the middleclass and impoverished class because
the middleclass forgets all about us, and only struggles for their own interests.

THAT is exactly what the rich ruling class wants.

Stop giving them what they want.

3. That is a pretty stunning chart
some of it is better than other bits; but I think they are trying for direct parallel figurs, so that makes it tricky.

4. " the cost of tax breaks are skyrocketing"
Repeat every chance you get: "skyrocketing tax breaks" for corporations and the rich.

10. benefits
the benefits of tax cuts do not circulate. They sound great when you hear about them but they do not circulate.
The best schools, best houses, best neighborhoods advance, and others go down the tubes. Businesses get all these tax breaks but what kind of cites do they create.Do you see a rise in wages when tax cuts are given? That would make sense because these tax cuts decrease services. usually the trade off is less wage and less services which means you have a worse job in a worse place while the money goes other places. This is back wards folks.

8. It's always been about class warfare...
It's been disguised as racism and other things, but the nuts and bolts of it is to have us fighting amongst ourselves for the few crumbs that fell to the floor whilst the upper crust ate their upper crust.

Of course the RW spin on this is that everyone hates the poor hated rich.
