"American conservatives love to attack anyone who raises the issue of worsening economic inequality for waging "class war." Their compulsion to keep repeating that phrase is revealing in itself; it's like the serial killer in a movie who can't help returning to the scene of the crime. Because the only class war being waged in 21st-century America is the relentless, all-fronts struggle conducted by the rich against the poor."

Obama has said he supports decreasing income inequity even if the poor become poorer. That is anti poor, and elitist. It is not the rich but the powerful who are to blame. The Dims don't need money to be in the one percent, they have other peoples money.

How is richer, a person with a billion dollars, or a person who can reroute a billion to his cronies?

"We could use some of the old-school class warfare in the United States, that's for damn sure. There are occasional glimmers of it, like the Occupy movement, the attempts to organize workers in fast-food restaurants and big-box stores and even, in an ass-backwards kind of way, the Tea Party. But that's a long road, and I'm not holding my breath. The immense material victories of the last three decades, in which the top income-tax rates have been slashed and the richest people have grown immensely richer, were made possible in the first place by an ideological victory whose consequences are even more far-reaching."

There is class war, the progressive ruling elite against everyone else.
Washington is the elitist city on the hill, but not the shining city but the rulers city of Hunger Games.
