It's only class warfare when the middle class fights back.

Also, what has class warfare ever done other than establishing a minimum wage, a 40 hour work week, ending child labor and sweatshops, and improving workplace safety and sanitation?

According to conservatives, these are all job killing measures.

Yeah. Why kill jobs when instead you can kill people with dangerous workplace conditions and stress-related illness?

How shooting convenience store clerks stimulates the economy
Politicians work themselves into a lather of rationalization about the benefits of government spending. In this they are aided by the more vile kinds of economists such as Paul Krugman and the late John Kenneth Galbraith. Using liberal political-economic reasoning I can prove . . . anything. I can prove that shooting convenience-store clerks stimulates the economy.
Jobs are created in the high-paying domestic manufacturing sector at gun and ammunition factories. Additional emergency medical technicians, security guards, health care providers, and morticians are hired. The unemployment rate is lowered as job seekers fill new openings on convenience-store night shifts. And money stolen from convenience-store cash registers stimulates the economy where stimulus is most needed, in low-income neighborhoods where the people who shoot convenience-store clerks go to buy their crack. I am simply flabbergasted that the Democratic majority in the House and Senate isn't smoking crack and shooting convenience-store clerks this very minute, considering all the good it does. P. J.
