Class warfare anyone?
Edited on Sun Sep-28-08 07:05 PM by greyghost
Main Street turns against Wall Street
A populist backlash is changing America's political climate. Inflamed by the financial crisis and bailouts, a form of class warfare could haunt business leaders for years to come.

By Nina Easton, Washington bureau chief
Last Updated: September 28, 2008: 11:03 AM ET

NEW YORK (Fortune) -- In one frenzied month Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke remade Wall Street. Along the way they may also have recast American politics. A month of historic government interventions shows signs of triggering a political version of climate change - unleashing a new era of class fury that could hurt U.S. companies, business leaders, and wealthy investors for years.

Hell -- I was a Cub Scout, a safety patrol boy, a junior varsity football player and an Army veteran. I'm about as All-American as you can get and even I know that the time has come for a(nother) Revolution!!

I'm no commie or Socialist -- but I'll be standing on the same side of the barricade when the time comes. Bank on it.
