Is Bush waging class warfare?

Question

The overwhelming transfer of wealth to the rich and the sending of non-elite kids to war is one example. The middle and lower class is getting whipped by his policies.

Answer 1

1.) Bush and all republicans for that matter promote social darwinism.

2.) Reps also promote inequality. They want the rich to get richer, the poor to get poorer and the middle class more vulnerable as they fall into poverty.

3.) Republicans stand for unequal results and unequal assets

Plutarch once said "an imbalance in the rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics."

Answer 2

He is, but it is much more sinister than you think. The warfare you speak of is a distraction for us, to keep us busy sniping at each other while the real story goes happily on unnoticed. We argue about illegals and a fence, while the plan is to lower wages on both sides of the border, creating the atmosphere where unions are gone, benefits are gone, and we are all temp help for international conglomerates. You either work for nothing or we will gladly go to Vietnam or China where people will work for $1.50/hr. Bush/Cheney represent those that are eliminating all social programs, corporate and political. Whether it is Enron, or not paying retirement benefits the message is the same. It is health care only for those wealthy enough to pay for it, and insurance companies who inform you when Katrina happens that for some reason, after you have paid in all those premiums, "you are not covered," and by the way FEMA is not coming! It is part of the big lie, and so far most of us have fallen for it hook, line, and sinker.

Answer 3

Wealthy people pay more taxes ?!! No they dont. There is only a handful of rich compared to everyone else. I like a guy to work for his money and make it rich. Not have his daddy give it to him. As for choice in the military, recruiters dont recruit on Park Ave or Beverly Hills high, because those kids have options, they are rich. Bush is an elitest, milking this countries people dry to fill his friends pockets.

Answer 4

Even if it is not the class warfare, it definitely is not the warfare of class.
A dirty war, sooner it is rolled back, better it is for America in particular and the world in general.

Answer 5

And permitting 40 5 thousand human beings to proceed to die each and every year because of lack of medical coverage? lower than obamacare the shape of uninsured has risen to 50 million so the topic is probable worse.

Answer 6

Yes, let's send the elite kids to war. Who would that be, anyway? I think you want to punish people for having money by sending them to war. You, sir, are waging class warfare.

Answer 7

What is your basis for this conclusion? Wealthy people pay for most of the taxes in this country, and if middle to lower class person wants to join the military to provide for themselves then what is the harm in that? They are adults that can make up their own minds, or do you like John Kerry think that everyone in the Military is an undereducated social moron? You are sounding like the elitist to me.

Answer 8

1. Wealthy people are to blame for their wealth by earning it. They also pay a larger percentage of taxes to support programs that support those on government assistance.
2. We do not have a draft. People make their own decisions.
3. If the so-called whippees feel that way, they are allowing it and have only themselves to blame.

Answer 9

No. Class warfare is the sole province of the Democrats.

Answer 10

Geez. First Bush himself imitates liberals by talking about "compassionate conservatism." Now liberals are complaining that Bush is an advocate of class warfare. Will the lying never cease?
