Class Warfare Redux

Someone other than me is saying it:

The Blog Bob Burnett: Bush Resolution for 2006 - More Class Warfare The Huffington Post:

"Bush Resolution for 2006 - More Class Warfare (99 comments )

A classic blues lyric is, 'Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.'
Whenever Democrats argue that Bush Administration policies favor the rich at the expense of the poor, Republicans accuse Dems of waging class warfare . It's a classic defensive ploy -- accuse when you're the guilty party.

President Bush attributes the growth of the U.S. economy to his economic policies.
As a consequence, he's asking for a new round of tax cuts for the rich. The Republican-controlled Congress is ready to pass these, and reduce benefits for the poor, when the House and Senate reconvene. It's GOP class warfare."

Uh-huh, and they are winning the war because the poor are definitely getting poorer...
