Memo to the Super Rich, your high-paid lobbyists and your no-compromise political puppets whose sole mission is destroying the presidency: Yes, you are succeeding. You’re also killing the economy.

Yes, Warren Buffett’s right: “There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and winning.” … But not for much longer. Why? Because the Arab Spring set the stage with class wars targeting dictators, scam-voting, pseudo-democracies.

1. You assume those comments were posted by 1%'ers ...

2. Written by Paul B. Farrell...looks to be a regular columnist at MarketWatch...

6. Farrell's been saying things like this for quite a while

He has rather forcefully argued that the greedhead pigs at the trough are fatally undermining the people's faith in the system. I suspect he's arguing out of a desire for self-preservation, but he's making the argument nonetheless.
