I respectfully disagree with you. From the view of the "masses", wealth comes FROM abuse of the masses, i.e. the masses who work for corporations that have their vision on profit ONLY, not on their social responsibility to their employees or their nation.
Whatever happened to the corporate ethic that kept the experienced worker (although higher paid than the newbie)on it's payroll? That practice was good for the corporation and good for the employee and his/her family. Those corporations made profit then, too. And there were unions then, too!
It appears through the view of the masses that those profits weren't enough for the executives. They started to make the decisions to export jobs so that they could pay lower wages so that they would generate MORE profit. They, I believe, did this so that they would appear to be better managers than their predecessors and, thus, could command higher salaries. I know of NO corporations where a vote at a shareholder meeting was taken as to whether or not the corporation should build a plant overseas. If you know of even one, I would be surprised.
The class warfare you speak of has been waged against the masses for the last three decades when the majority of "global expansion" started. Call it what you may, but the bottom line is average Americans don't have the opportunities they had in the '60's and probably will never again have the education availability and job security available at that time.
Many Americans now understand how unpatriotic Corporate America has been through its exportation of jobs and lack of skyrocketed profits being invested in the companies. Investment can look good on paper but the devil is in the details. When the investment has been in expensive corporate offices, perks for executives in such things as corporate jets and retreats, rather than in the upgrading and modernization of the manufacturing plants themselves along with training their present workforce in the new processes, it is hollow investing.
I am a talented and hard working individual, having on at least two occasions held a job that required the hiring of more than one person to replace me when I left that job. Yes, I was doing the work of at least two people.
I am NOT the only American that is sick and tired of corporate stupidity AND greed! You and I see the origination of the class warfare from opposite points of view, obviously. I see it as starting with corporate America's abuse of the masses. You see it as just now starting. In reality, it has been going on for a VERY long time.
Where have you been the last 30 years especially the last 10. Of course wealth in America is a zero sub game. The same people who right the rules and then watch everything blow up are asked back to fix it again while we the masses fight over their crumbs. America wants everything but doesnt want to pay. we have been brainwashed into believing tax hikes equal communism.
