“There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”
We are currently suffering through one of the worst crashes/failures our economic systems have ever endured. It is widely acknowledged that this crisis was mainly the result of predatory capitalism, reckless financial decisions and ventures and the irresponsible/incompetent "management" of a number of extremely wealthy executives and decision-makers.
Millions have lost their jobs, and yet massive banking firms and elite alliances deemed “to big to fail” were bailed out with taxpayers money, and ended up making billions in profits for their shareholders. At the same time, politicians and special interest groups are attacking labor organizations, environmental regulations, public healthcare and the working-class with fury and determination.
Is there a class war going on? You bet your life there is. And the poor and working people of this world are seriously losing this war. But for how long? How long will we put up with the status quo? Not long.
