I am glad you quoted "leaders"...
See... that is the funny thing about this whole discussion... in your mind it's "us against the poor" meme that has been pushed by the Heritage Foundation and other "conservative" think tanks for decades now. Republicans constantly say that it's class warfare... I find that particularly telling considering the massive consolidation of wealth and power that has occurred in my 42 years as a battery...
Here is the real truth... The idea of "representative government" is a sham, literally. Starting with Reagan, his choice of Don Regan for Treasury Secretary and the all out assault on regulation, we have been a victim of the merger of corporate interests and governmental interests... neither of which represent our interests as citizens. George Bush and the Republican controlled Congress were our undertakers and sealed the coffin. You are watching the demise of America played out on television like it's a sitcom...
Here are some real numbers... how many "rabble" have died in wars started by the Plutocracy over oil or in the name of "business interest". That number is greatly over-represented by the "lower class". Here is what I see... the end of the US brought to you by Carl's Jr.
I think it's funny that you subscribe to the nonsense that you subscribe to... if it were up to Republicans you would have your assets seized and you would be incarcerated.
