I have been saying this for years that budget cuts that hurt the disadvantaged while giving huge tax cuts to others is class warfare. That's why I was sooo glad that an elected Republican has finally said what I have been saying for years, that Tax Cuts are an act of class warfare.
SIEGEL: Well, let’s pick apart some of what he asked for today. Continuing the payroll tax holiday, both for employers and employees, Republicans on board with that possibly?
PRICE: Well, it’s a tax reduction in his eyes. In fact, it’s just a shift of the money to pay for Social Security. So, from a policy standpoint, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. It’s a good nugget from a rhetorical standpoint, for the class warfare that he seems intent on fighting. But, you know, whether or not that survives, I don’t know. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense from an economic standpoint because the money to pay Social Security recipients has to come from somewhere. If it’s not going to come from the payroll tax, then it’s going to come from the general fund. And so, then you’re just borrowing from Peter to pay Paul.

This is GOP Policy Chairman Tom Price telling you Tax Cuts equal Class Warfare when those tax cuts are not overwhelmingly targeted at the super rich or massive corporations. He who shall not be named is Obama, who is leading the peasants in arms in this treasonous act of Class Warfare.
Like I said, hook, line and sinker.
More below the fold
Imagine all the poor, defenseless billionaires who will suffer when we close their tax loopholes to pay for those greedy, self righteous employees and small business owners. What nerve?
You see, by supporting tax cuts for employers and employees, President Obama is engaging in class warfare, pitting the poor, disadvantaged super rich and their colossal multinational corporations against the all powerful greed driven might of employees and small business. What did these poor, innocent billionaires ever do to deserve this? Why is Obama hell bent on punishing them for their success? Doesn't he understand that if we spend all of our money keeping Charlie Sheen and Paris Hilton as rich and as drunk with themselves as possible eventually all of the other wealth and rewards they enjoy will trickle down to us via amusing images on the television? Class war isn't taking from the poor and giving to the rich, it is taking from the rich and giving to anyone else!
Wages aren't an investment, it is wasteful spending, just like first world infrastructure and disaster preparedness, and anything that isn't first and foremost an act of prima noctis is an act of class war. You see, our feudal lords are entitled to sleep with our wives on our wedding night and stuff like that, always have been, they create jobs like gods and we are but here to serve and worship them, and if need be, bail them out. We pay taxes TO them, not the other way around. This all wouldn't be necessary if the proles were never taught to read like we originally planned. If anything doesn't serve the richest among us first and more than anyone else it is useless, if it can't be profited on to the max by the richest guy in the room who needs it? People? Corporations are people, my friend!
So GET IT RIGHT, it goes like this.
Tax Cuts for the Rich stimulate the economy and must be paid for with non-defense spending cuts.
Tax Cuts for anyone else is class warfare.
Got it? GOOD! Now back to work, wage slaves! Baby needs a new pair of yachts.
Peace and love to all
Thanks to everyone, I am sooo close to being able to pay my rent and get by for the rest of this month. As I struggle, like many others, to find decent work in this fucked up, corrupt corporate wasteland, I could use a little bit more of your help.
