Republicans are always trumpeting about how we progressive Democrats are waging class war. A just and fair society is not in the Republican lexicon. But they wage all out class war to protect their very wealthy contributors.
On October 16, McCain is holding a fund raiser in New York by shaking down Wall St. fat cats--yes, they may be poorer but as Fitzgerald said the rich are different from you and me. So they've lost some money. They still have lots and some of it is going to the Republican National Committee (RNC) for its TV, newspaper and internet ads. We know that some of these ads have a sub text to cast Obama out of the USA mainstream. They're ugly and it's not paranoid to recognize that they play on racial fear.
Yes, it wasn't easy for the Republicans to raise the dollars. They did it by waging class war, by appealing to people's fears that the rich would have to pay a fair share for making our country great again.. 1,000 people coughed up $1,000.00 each and 200 gave $25,000.00 each. Said one fundraiser to the Wall St. Journal: "Reality set in. Donors realized they could face an Obama Administration next month." They are plainly "petrified", said the Wall St. Journal, "they will face steep increases in personal and corporate tax rates." The fund raisers went after all resisters by saying that "Obama will be a disaster for you."
These multi-millionaires want the government to subsidize them without paying any increase, let alone a fair share. The McCain tax cut benefits the richest people who have already benefitted from the Bush- tax policies. McCain, on tax policy, is a Bush clone.
