Not a credible threat. Just a dumbass.

The real class warfare will be taxes and regulations on the working private citizens as practiced by the unionized public servants.

We couldn't get that lucky.

This is about as significant as Aryan Nations declaring RAHOWA.

What concerns me is there timeline: they have been around at least documented by the following site since 2002 & growing.

My grandaddy who was from the oldCountry loved too say "Anarchists have there place in society and "We The People" will cut their balls off.

There already is class warfare.

From my perspective, I have a great deal of respect for a man that builds up something from nothing, and becomes wealthy because of hard work, creativity, and determination.

But some turd whose only claim to fame is having a family name that gets him into Harvard and some cushy middle management scumbag gig at some corporation, where his sole purpose is to off shore jobs, and piss all over America for "emerging markets". I'd like to punch those guys in the face.

Middle class and small business owners are always the ones most hurt by class warfare. The rich and big business have ways of shielding their money and can buy off politicians for tax breaks. Its the guy who employs 5-20 people, and middle class families who see the biggest harm done.



Once the middle class is punished enough all you have is 90% poor and 10% uber rich.

While I have no love for people who outsource America, I have no resentment towards those born privileged.

I didn't do anything to "earn" being born here rather than Africa, but I'm damn glad I was. I am privileged. It is no different from being born with the capacity to be attractive or intelligent. Some are, some aren't and it isn't something earned.

Being born into a "good family" is just another kind of unearned advantage. It makes one lucky, you can be a good person or a bad person. While I may at times envy those who didn't have to "work at it" I don't typically hate them or resent them for it.

It's not as simple as stereotyping the eeevil MBA for outsourcing America's jobs. Enact some of the highest corporate taxes in the world, moronic EPA regulations, and stupid union shit like this, and watch Atlas shrug.

There's a reason the Big Three went bankrupt while building some of their cars in the US and Toyota/BMW/Honda all seem to be able to build cars and employ Americans in right to work states.

Let's not pretend Paris Hilton is the same as Jeffrey Immelt, despite both being born with some money.

Yeah, I can see how that could be a problem

G.E.’s Strategies Let It Avoid Taxes Altogether
By DAVID KOCIENIEWSKI

General Electric, the nation’s largest corporation, had a very good year in 2010.

The company reported worldwide profits of $14.2 billion, and said $5.1 billion of the total came from its operations in the United States.

Its American tax bill? None. In fact, G.E. claimed a tax benefit of $3.2 billion.

That may be hard to fathom for the millions of American business owners and households now preparing their own returns, but low taxes are nothing new for G.E. The company has been cutting the percentage of its American profits paid to the Internal Revenue Service for years, resulting in a far lower rate than at most multinational companies.
