Brooks cites a column Wages Are Based More on Productivity, Less on Exploitation.

And no Virginia in the white house. Or lizzie either.

DC Divide & Control CRIMINAL STATE. A goofball from Central Casting. Keep reading the lines old man.

His point is excellent. He doesn’t like Trump (and doesn’t credit him with the rise in competitivity and wages in the last few years), even though he’s actually on the same page. But otherwise it was an excellent article.

Another thing I liked was the photo of the back of Ol’ Grey Bernie’s head. Marxism is so yesterday, even though our idiot youth seems to believe it’s The Thing.

It appears Brooksie got the memo about kicking Crazy Bernie to the curb.

A massively indebted government needs to borrow cheaply with Federal Reserve help.

Cheap money benefits Wall Street and public companies on a borrowing binge.

Maybe a metaphorical war between the ruling class and the Taxpaying class.

Leftists need a class war to seize power. There always will be a class war in the Democrat/media/academia axis. Every story must reinforce that.

In the first place, over the past few years wages for workers toward the bottom of the income stream have been rising faster than wages for those toward the top. If the bosses have the workers by the throat, how can this be happening?

Yes David, there IS a Class War. Class War hasn't been fought by the rich for almost a century. Class War is waged by Socialists, who constantly attack and demonize the rich, attempt to confiscate their wealth, and even call for them to be jailed or executed. It's fought by the lazy malcontents who blame their failures on the success of others. By those who are brainwashed by communist professors that wealth is a zero sum gain, and that every dollar earned by one man, is a dollar stolen from another. It is fought by people who see capitalism as evil.

So, yes, there IS a Class War. It's just not the mythical one perpetuated by Bernie, AOC, Pelosi and the rest of anti-capitalist left wing lunatics.

[Hugh the Scot]

Didn’t read the article (a Free Republic first), but those without class are certainly waging war against us normals

David Brooks hates Donald Trump and never gives him credit for anything. His main beef with Trump is that Trump is rude, crude, not polite and is not deferential to eastern elites. The last part really gets him.

However, he never bought into the socialist panacea that apparently growing numbers of frustrated and TDS Democrats have swallowed. I think he is worried that the large number of snowflakes combined with the aforementioned Democrats just might tip the nomination to Bernie.

He knows this will be a disaster in November and makes a compelling case.

The Bernie Sanders Fallacy. No, Virginia, there is no class war.

Class warfare is the ONLY selling point that Communism (Marxism/Socialism) has.

[Paladin2]

Is Soviet Socialist Sanders also a National Socialist or not?
