Good points Mick,
I agree with you totally But doesn't calling it class warfare play into the hands of the ignorant? It is obvious that Susu's hubby has no idea how the prosperity that we now have came about or where someone in his "class" would be if it were not for labour laws and simple thing like fair enforcement of the Bill of Rights.
That's the power of what the propagandists have done. They have taught people to look at things as simple slogans and in black and white terms rather than informing themselves and trying to look at the totality of things and making choices in an intelligent manner.
By the way redistribution of wealth works both ways. The creation of wealth requires capital and labour and a social climate, that supports it and a market of consumers. Labor and the creation of the social climate and the market are the people. These factors and production are entitled to a collective voice. Who is to say that the owners of capital have any more right to the wealth than the society, the workers or the customers? It is the balance of all of these interests that make our prosperity.
