We have long enjoyed MarketWatch columnist Paul B. Farrell's seething, doom-soaked predictions of American Collapse -- and his column is always the "most read" thing on this stock-market business website, so we are not alone. But today's is a delight even if you're used to Farrell's ranting, because now he's calling for armed revolution against the Super Rich!
By the time they should be wising up, their definition of bajillionaire is owning a car that starts most of the time and having the rent money in full at the start of the month without having to sell plasma. And by that time, they have almost reached those goals so it's not all that bad.
From one of Senator Al Franken&#039;s books:<i>
Any time that a liberal points out that the wealthy are disproportionately benefiting from Bush&#039;s tax policies, Republicans shout, &quot;class warfare!&quot;
In her book A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous Fourteenth Century, Barbara Tuchman writes about a peasant revolt in 1358 that began in the village of St. Leu and spread throughout the Oise Valley. At one estate, the serfs sacked the manor house, killed the knight, and roasted him on a spit in front of his wife and kids. Then, after ten or twelve peasants violated the lady, with the children still watching, they forced her to eat the roasted flesh of her dead husband and then killed her.
That is class warfare.
Arguing over the optimum marginal tax rate for the top one percent is not.</i>
certainly republican governors / legislatures are doing their bit.

Rick Santorum will blame the revolution on abortion.

That&#039;s my senator!
You tell they&#039;re not Republicans revolting because the kid went untouched.
