    Class War

    Taxing the super rich is a class war. Meddling in middle class contractual wage agreements is not a class war.

    The Republicans continue to miss the boat on how to "re-define themselves". They continue with the same tired classicism rhetoric that got us into this mess.

    Yep all of those GM pensioners are responsible for the financial meltdown of this economy. Let's take their money away driving them into poverty. It is unthinkable that retired auto workers would actually want a roof over their head, health care, and food on the table. How incredibly selfish of those old farts. We all know the attract the "best and the brightest" we need to take the money from retirees and give multi-million dollar bonuses to the golden boys of industry to further reek havoc on our system.
