We saw several banners with a slogan "No War but Class War" but whether you guys really believe in it ? Why you are shying away from mentioning that truth in your documents ( I am sorry if I have missed any reference) . Please answer
So you think there is class warfare? I couldn't agree with you more. But it started 30 years ago, when the 1% started demanding more and more for themselves, and started crushing the middle class. Strange how the Republicans only started squealing about class warfare when the middle class finally started standing up for themselves.
We try to avoid using the term "class warfare" in our works simply because that term has become a Republican buzzword used to discredit movements fighting for greater fairness across income brackets. What we actually want to do is reset the tax structure and the regulatory structure so that the rich and corporations pull their weight and we can balance our budget without having to leave the poor out in the cold.
Somebody from OWS thinktank this is direct question to you guys , please respond
