Depriving people of wages you think they’ve earned, but which have not been agreed upon, is not class warfare. Working for them is voluntary. You don’t like your wages, hightail it.

I don’t see that sentence excepting upper class failure.

Who says they don’t want to stop redistribution to Wall Street?

Slavery and sexism, seriously? You’re really stretching. Couldn’t come up with another out of left field slam against corporate welfare, or did you accidentally cut and paste a high school history textbook into that last paragraph?

Yes, we have a nice form of 21st century feudalism going on here.

Of course they've earned more because workers' productivity has shot through the roof yet there has been no accompanying increases in their wages. Until the late 1970s wages and productivity moved along nicely together. If a good portion of that increased productivity isn't accruing to the one doing the producing who is it accruing to? (that's a rhetorical question, I already know the answer and so should you)

Which leads to a concentration of wealth and capital that is unhealthy for the economy. Right now we are stuck in a feedback loop of people not having enough disposable cash to purchase items which in turn causes businesses to slow down and look for ways to cut costs, normally in the form of cutting workers, which leads to people having less disposable cash, etc.

Going back to Clinton-era tax rates will not kill the economy or send us careening down the pathway towards your socialism bugaboo anymore then it lead to those things during the 1990s.

Since the Republicans don't want to do anything to curb Wall Street excesses, and in fact want change rules in order to give Wall Street the leeway to create even more havoc for the rest of the world, it's abundantly clear the Republicans are not interested.
