Yes, Class Warfare is real - because THEY fired the first shots!

Yes, we have Class Warfare in the US, and we have had it for a long time. The upper 1% have been fighting to keep the 99% under their thumb almost since our country began. It's really not about money - it's about POWER. And society has equated money with power for a long, long time.

Personally, I am a Capitalist - because I feel that competition breeds innovation. But, I am against having a few determine the destiny of the many. And that is what has been happening in our Country.

The 1% has been trying to protect their position, even when they didn't deserve it. They have been practicing Class Warfare in order to maintain their Power.

Yes, Class Warfare is real - because the 1% has been waging it against the 99% for centuries.

Isn't time the rest of us fought back?
