is one of the most despicable lies in American political history. There was never any good reason for anyone to make such a claim.

Only the rich benefit from the notion that economic justice and social justice advocates are in some sort of bitter rivalry each other(or are never the SAME people caring equally about both sets of causes).

In the end, it has to be about all forms of justice, for all people.
