Real Class Warfare From the Elites



This is what a class does when it wants to protect itself from anyone below it who might be thinking naughty things- like getting rich and moving to the wealthy neighborhood. They may do it in the name of socialism, helping the poor, or whatever else, but taxes raise a barrier against being able to rise in this country. The already rich can pay them.

So it makes more sense to occupy Connecticut than Wall Street, if you are into the sort of class warfare the lower classes engage in.

Interestingly enough, if what Ann Barnhardt suggests about the futures and options markets is correct, I suspect some of these elites will start to notice the political class costs them more headaches than upstart neighbors. Real change requires real funding, so a weakening of the collaboration between the extremely wealthy and D.C. would be helpful.
