From Al Franken’s Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right: Anytime a liberal points out that the wealthy are disproportionately benefiting from Bush’s tax policies, Republicans shout, “class warfare!” In her book, A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous Fourteenth Century, Barbara Tuchman writes about a peasant revolt … Continue reading “Class Warfare!”
