Class Warfare Waged by Working People, or Corporations?

On this date in America we are engaged in class warfare.  The folks that have been elected through the Teapublican revolution have openly attacked the American Worker and the American Working/Middle Class.  They have done this by pursuing an agenda that benefits their corporate donors and supporters.  To set the stage for  this blatant advocacy for corporations and against working people they had their propaganda folks set the stage by talking about class warfare.

Their spin on this battle is the characterization of Barak Obama as a Muslim/socialist imposing socialism and Sharia law on our society.  In other words the battle is on because of this incursion into our freedoms on behalf of the people is suspect because the President that the American People elected is a Socialist and a non-Christian.  This spin is meant to divert attention away from the jist of the struggle and focus energy on the fears of the target audience

The truth is somewhat different.  Professor Michael Schalbe has outlined what Capitalist/Corporatist want from government.  Read what he says below. See if you find anything that is not now being imposed on State Governments by this organized assault on working/middle class people.  Do you believe that this should be a government of-by-for the people, or a government of-by-for corporations?

"Capitalists want laws that weaken and cheapen labor. This means laws that make it harder for workers to organize unions; laws that make it easier to export production to other countries; laws that make it easier to import workers from other countries; laws and fiscal policies that keep unemployment high, so that workers will feel lucky just to have jobs, even with low pay and poor benefits.

Capitalists want tax codes that allow them to pay as little tax as possible; laws that allow them to externalize the costs of production (e.g., the health damage caused by pollution); laws that allow them to swallow competitors and grow huge and more powerful; and laws that allow them to use their wealth to dominate the political process. Workers, when guided by their economic interests, generally want the opposite."
