September 20, 2011--Class Warfare: Obama's Offensive

When unveiling his deficit-reduction plan yesterday, anticipating that Republicans would accuse him of engaging in class warfare because of his intention to see millionaires and billionaires pay a little more in taxes, he laid it out starkly--

"This is not class warfare--it's math," Mr. Obama said from the White House Rose Garden.

"The money has to come from some place," he continued. "If we're not willing to ask those who've done extraordinarily well to help America close the deficit . . . the math says everybody else has to do a whole lot more. We've got to put the entire burden on the middle class and the poor."

He's says it's only math. I say it's in fact class warfere. And that it's about time. Now let's see what kind of a warrior he turns out to be. Based on past performance . . .

But remember--we're losing.
