Class Warfare

A writer on the op ed page of The Record states that a yearly income of $ 250,000 is only "comfortable", certainly not the income of "Oprah". Where has this guy been spending his spare time? At the country club or the Hamptons maybe but certainly not where most hard-working Americans are spending theirs. Why doesn't he tell the coal miner in West Virginia that an income of a quarter of a million dollars is mearly "comfortable" living? Why doesn't he drive his BMW-second car most likely since the family car is a Land Rover-across vast sections of this country where people who work everyday are living in mobile homes worrying about the next tornado that will blow them to hell and back; tell them how he is having trouble making ends meet on a quarter of a millor dollars a year.

Of course, by noting this I will be accused of promoting class warfare. Hell, we have always had class warfare in this country-like every other country. The reality is however, its the poor and lower middle class who are being made war on, certainly not those who make a quarter of a million dollars a year.

And our federal government-congress and the president-have just staged another victory in that on-going war for those who make a quarter of a million dollars a year.
