	Spinsanity - The art of "class warfare": How one phrase has become a key battleground in economic policy debates
		Republicans accused Democrats of engaging in "class warfare" when they supported the budget on the grounds that its tax increases primarily targeted the wealthy.
		I think this return to populism, this return to class warfare is a sign of the lack of a positive agenda by Gore.
		Apparently confident that "class warfare" is a powerful tool in their rhetorical arsenal, Republicans have been using the phrase frequently during the current debate.

	On "class warfare"
		Those were in the summer of 2000, when Republicans were accusing Gore of waging class warfare in his presidential campaign, and back in 1995, when they were making the same charge about the Democratic critics of Newt Gingrich's contract with America.
		That's the trick to all this talk of "class warfare." Middle-income Americans may be painfully aware of the gulf that separates them from the wealthy, but they don't think of those in terms of class lines.
		To a high-school principal making $80,000 a year, the only class difference is between herself and the school janitor, not between herself and a dividend-clipping investor.

	Mutual Fund Class Warfare
		Class B shares are back-end loaded, or in SEC speak, the exit fee is termed a "Contingent Deferred Sales Charge." The SEC refers to it as a contingency-based fee because it is dependent on how long you hold the fund.
		Class C shares are level-loaded shares in which the load is paid annually as long as you own the fund.
		Class C shares cannot be converted to Class A or B shares.

	Democratic Underground Forums - "Who is waging class warfare?"
		Class warfare has been the policy of the American ruling elite for more than two decades, during which working class incomes have declined and the share of US national wealth in the hands of the top 1 percent has doubled, from 19 percent to 40 percent.
		But for Bush & Co., it is not class warfare to rob the poor and working people in order to enrich the wealthy.
		It is only class warfare to inform the poor and working people that they are being robbed, and to put a spotlight on the process by which this robbery is being conducted.

		This spring, for the sixth consecutive year, students in each of the program's four classes joined in the annual Run of the Charles, a canoe relay race that draws more than 1,000 participants from across the New England region.
		The main purpose is to raise money to protect the Charles River watershed, but for the BC students, mostly a collection of novices and landlubbers, class pride is also on the line.
		At each hand-over of the canoe, the paddlers are required to re-enact a voyageur's portage, shouldering their vessel and trotting it a ritual half-mile overland before passing it on to the next two racers.

		Now the upper classes are fighting to keep the riff-raff separate, and they're using technology to do it.
		Without visible class distinctions there's no filter, and without the filter there's a compulsion to compete with people who are “out of your league”.
		The upper classes are not amused by efforts to level the playing field, and so while the Internet—and college subsidies—happen to do just that, the result is modern class warfare as the upper class fights back, probably by using the Internet's own tools for democracy.

		To the extent that the middle class was shrinking, it was not because those previously in the middle class were become poor, but because they were joining the ranks of the rich.
		But as the tax burden rises on the taxpaying class, they have an increasing incentive to vote because they have a big stake in the results.
		Thus Democrats are finding that their class warfare message has little impact, since it resonates mainly with non-voters, while the Republican tax cut message hits home with taxpayers.

		The President, before releasing (or unleashing) the package, had launched a preemptive strike against his critics, warning them not to engage in "class warfare" in their inevitable assault upon his tax scheme.
		Why is it class warfare to point out that the overwhelming majority of the tax cut would go to the wealthiest people in the country?" Fleischer answered, "Well, I'll tell you, it's class warfare to say that there are wrong people in America and these wrong people are not deserving of tax relief.

	Class-War Games - What Bush means when he accuses populist Gore of "class warfare." By David Greenberg (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		We still suffer from class divisions: The richest 10 percent of the citizenry owns 71 percent of the wealth, and the average worker earns $26,000 a year while the average CEO takes in $12.4 million.
		But since the Depression the threat of honest-to-goodness, fear-inspiring class warfare has evaporated, and charges of class warfare have taken on a hollow, tinny ring.
		In a similar vein, although I agree with Mr Greenberg's conclusions about the usefulness of class warfare, his brief description of Andrew Jackson seems to presage the same omission of people of Colour in his overall discussion.

		Great piece on class warfare in today's Boston Globe by American Prospect editor Robert Kuttner - a must-read if you're trying to understand how each of the two big political parties deals with the aspirational nature of American class self-identification.
		And while John Kerry takes the safe "middle class" road - after all, 90-plus percent of all Americans claim middle classhood - Edwards extends Fernando Ferrer's "two New Yorks" metaphor to the nation, rather bravely, in my view.
		As Kuttner points out, he risks the classic GOP class warfare cry to do so, and because "nearly everyone identifies upward [so] you don't gain traction in American progressive politics by baiting the rich."
