Are certain "classes" targeted more than others?

so all those working class people who constantly vote for more and more spending has nothing to do with the problems>?

Who votes for more and more spending...do you mean working class that vote for democrats ? what are you talking about
 
Alright here's the deal.

As a "slightly conservative" I do believe that the top 1% should pay more taxes. I also believe that the nation as a whole probably should pay more taxes, albeit the upper end of the spectrum will probably make up the difference most. That being said, I've seen borderline obsessive class envy on this forum. People are so willing to take a hot Cleveland steamer on the rich that they allow it to get in the way of objective policy fact -- namely the role of the "rich" in federal taxes, how much wealth within the top 1% is inherited, how many people in the top 1% were BORN in the top 1%, and so on and so on.

At the end of the day, I don't care about the rich. I care about contra-cyclical taxation. Whether there's a "war" on the middle class doesn't mean **** to me.

I answered "yes", although I wouldn't call it "class warfare" because that hypothesizes intent where I'm not sure it exists.
There's very clear intent --- premeditated intent on the part of politicians primarily, and those people and groups who support the talking points of said politicians who have singled out the "wealthy" or "rich" in subjective terms to provide for others based on yet more subjective nonsense like, "the rich have too much" or have some sort of excess. This is repeated in public by those in office like the President and the DNC who single out "Jet owners" ignoring the fact that jets for the rich are made by small to large corporations who employ people. Demonize those who have the money to buy personal aircraft like jets and hurt those people working to build those aircraft and the manufacturing sector they work in, like Cessna.

Not only does "class warfare" exist it's being used as a wedge politically to split two side --- if you're FOR jets, you must want to continue to shelter the ugly wealthy hoarders who are jealously not spending their money or using it for the welfare of all and if you are AGAINST jets then you must be a freedom fighter for the working man, the underprivileged and the out of work common blue collar worker. It's not that clear cut nor that cliche yet because it's election season, those are the types of talking points the politically hypnotized and gullible are falling for and repeating daily on this and thousands of other discussion boards in the United States.
 
We're the strong, able bodied from hard labor majority. The wealthy are the weak, unfit from sitting at a desk all day minority, but they also have a lot of nice stuff.

Survival of the fittest dictates we kill them and take their stuff. Yet we allow them to use us to oppress... us?

What is this madness?

Humanity.
