Class Warfare in America

A Pew survey found that 66% of americans see rich vs. poor conflict. Yeah. The top 13.2% that comprise the  upper middle class through the upper class and control 56% of all wealth in the country. The elites, the leaders, the bosses that make all the decisions and run everything. The bastards that laid you off and shipped your job to China so they could make a few more cents for themselves.

It's not just that they make and have more than you. it's not about you coveting their wealth. It's more about them making decisions that ruins opportunity for you, your children and grandchildren to make anything. They would ruin futures to make a few more pennies that's at the root of the conflict.

The 86.8% of us in the lower through lower middle class and control the remaining 44% of the wealth watch the american dream falling apart for us and our children are angry. And we should be. Not only are we getting poorer but elites tell us to STFU, our opinions don't matter. Many of us have shrugged, show up but don't care anymore. Why care when the bosses won't listen to you anymore.

The top 13.2% can hide themselves away in the secured, gated enclaves. Who are the lower 58.5% that have basically no wealth going to go after when the shit hits the fan? I'm guessing the 28.8% of lower middle class living in their midst. We have no influence or power but we're available so will take the burden of the mob's wrath.

Tis much better to live in the lower class neighborhood, drive the used car and keep your head down so you might trick the mob into believing you have no wealth...like them. Conspicuous displays of wealth could get you killed when real class warfare comes. And it will. The politicians are selling it this year.
