The only class warfare going on is by the haves, against the have nots, and the supply-side economic BS we've had for the last decade. That aint money "trickling down" on us, that's piss.
If you want to see a country with no social net then go to Mumbai India or Nairobi where you can't step outside in even the nicest neighborhoods without tripping over the homeless, while simultaneously seeing ostentatious mansions line the streets. I guess we should just say "its their fault", and to hell with them.
What you suspiciously call "the government", is at least accountable to the people. Much moreso than the bankers who got us into this mess, anyway. If politicians had not done anything about AIG bonuses, you'd probably be upset about that too, saying they aren't listening to the people. Talk about a catch 22. I for one am glad they are listening to their constituents for once.
Damn right any AIG exec -the guys who helped ruin the country with their greed an ineptitude- who walks away with millions should have it stripped from him.
And investment banks should not get billions either but be allowed to fail and let the prudent ones take their market share.
But it is not an either/or dichotomy.
