The key, of course, to the use of class warfare as a political weapon is never actually defining who the "rich," "haves," "have-nots," and above all the "working people" and "middle class" actually are. In this way one can speak to almost any income group and convince them that the reason they are having problems is because people richer than they are, are walking off with all the goodies. This crap has served socialist movements well for many years.

I have noticed that asking for actual income levels to define these classes results in an almost immediate flatline from whoever I'm talking to.

You see, the Democrats know damn well where the lines are, and that if the audience knew them too, they'd know for whom the bell tolled.

Not one person has explained to my satisfaction why stripping wealth from the rich and putting it in Ted Kennedy's coffers will produce any more real private sector jobs. Can you?

The Left hates the tax cuts, and they REALLY hate that they're working. The obsession with employment is because it's the only statistic left for them.
