Class warfare has always existed in the USA. In a certain sense our economy predicates it.  The majority of us want a job that we enjoy, has nice wages, and provides us security over the long run.  That’s a nice idea but it comes when a few things that we’d rather not see.  In order for our precious companies to operate we have to deal with layoffs, price increases, politics, special interest groups, and a virtual laundry list of nasty but necessary occurences.

The people who make the decisions on layoffs and price increases are the people with the power to do so.  We refer to them as (cue the evil entry music)…THE RICH PEOPLE.  The decision to lay off 5,000 workers or jack up the price of oil is made by a person who isn’t hit hard by the consequences.  If this happens enough people start to get hot under the collar.  When the media gets ahold of the trend it has to be given a name, snazzy headline, and shocking statistics that piss people off (15% unemployment, multi-billion dollar bailouts, etc).

In America when the business world puts itself first its called class warfare.  None of us like it when we see an increase in price.  None of us like it when our benefits are cut.  It sucks to the highest degree.

I challenge you to think about it for a second though.  Could it be that the policies that companies and RICH PEOPLE use are necessitated by our system to stay afloat? If that necessity is there could it be that class warfare is necessary to keep us afloat?
