Understanding Your Opponents - Part 2 (Class Warfare)

As Hermain Cain said in his CNN interview (in the last post), by protesting against the rich, occupy wallstreet protestors are committing class warfare. In other words, something that is true, i.e. class warfare of a few rich people (leaders of establishment republicans) against the rest of the population, is turned on its head (i.e. it has been re-framed, as Frank Luntz explains here).

The real class warfare is by the people who control the establishment republicans. All rich people are not involved (obviously).

Class Warfare Perspectives;

1.


Note: Fox News/New Repubs talk of percentages for the minority group they protect but numerical figures with examples of piles of money when attacking majority interests.


2.


Note:

A. "We gotta start somewhere... that's a million dollars (that we could save) - in contrast to the 700 billion we could save to reduce the deficit from the rich and unfairly untaxed (i.e. there is class warfare but its from the ones who are trying to aggravate people by projecting what they are doing onto Buffet).
B . From fox news: Dont tax the rich but 'broaden the tax base' - ignore/cover over the realty of the tax codes (see these are not real republicans! more proof later). C. Taxing the majority (poor) instead of taxing the minority (super rich by comparison) this is the very definition of despotism.
D. Heritage institute (Koch Brother funded) are trying to create the image of poor being wealthy cause they have normal second world amenities. (i.e. this will lower standard of living).
E. Demonizing (irresponsible animals) the part of society that is suffering from the excess and scamming of certain individuals on wall street etc.

1. Clear sign of hypocrisy - tax breaks for some people is 'focusing on one particular group of people' by this definition fox news/repubs just proved that they are waging classwarfare with thier policies (oil, unions vs wall street, unequal tax rates (so they pay more in terms on monetary value but less in terms of effect on income and standard of living)


4.

The ultimate loophole to get out of taxes is having too little income to tax - [another clear sign of class warfare (i.e. establishment republicans against everyone else ]

5.


So much fuss over a 2% tax increase! (Note: If someone say's 'its not fair', explain tax burden to them).
