Class warfare is what that top 1% has been engaged in for the last few decades. Just because they don't use the 'C' word, doesn't make what they've been doing class neutral.

Yea, we call that a free market economy. What do you call it? What system would you propose?

You are such a bitch, Merc. Are you trying to make someone say, "socialism?"

What you imagine to be a "free market economy" is destroying this economy. There won't be a "free market" anything if large corporations and obscenely big earners don't stop sitting on their stockpiles of cash and start putting it into play.

One in which the gulf between the wealthy and the rest isn't widening practically by the hour. One in which big business and the financial sector aren't bailed out constantly and aren't allowed absolute free reign to act in ways contrary to the public good. One in which an economic and political elite isn't allowed to create an effective monopoly on wealth and capital.
