Am I the only one who thinks the right-wing revived the culture wars to suck the oxygen from Occupy?

12. I do think Occupy is but the latest skirmish in the larger class wars.

The billionaires have been trying to vacuum wealth out of the wallets of the middle-class and poor for decades, and have been getting away with it since Reagan.

They desperately don't want attention paid to wealth distribution in this country. They have a far different vision for it than the rest of us. They want a country with two classes - them at the top with virtually all the wealth, and everyone else, dirt poor, uneducated, superstitious, easily manipulated, living in little shacks and scraping a living from what crumbs the billionaires are willing to throw to keep them coming to those jobs. Working for pennies a day, in conditions that make Foxconn look luxurious.

They want America to become their banana republic. A middle class of any size is not part of their vision. Neither is genuine democracy. They want dictatorship with a thin democratic veneer.

But the Occupy movement has called them out on this very successfully, and that has them wigging out.
