Class warfare in America: the elephant in the room
Posted by: msgruntled on: April 3, 2009
I’m just going to quote from a letter to the editor published in the Washington Post when the first stimulus bill became law February 17th:
The Reaganomics axiom that the rich were too poor to pay taxes and the poor were too rich to need support from the government was a transparent mechanism in a class war won by the rich. Even in this economic meltdown that has resulted from this axiom, the class war continues, as some experts and political leaders continue to ask for still lower taxes for the rich.
The writer, Kalyan Singhal of Columbia, Md., opened her letter with the acknowledgment that while she is someone who is subject to the AMT, she “would be happy to pay higher taxes so that low-income people can [benefit].” A true American hero.
