In 1358, according to historian and author Barbara Tuchman, a peasant
revolution started in the Oise valley of France. The peasants attacked
and looted a manor house, killed the knight who lived there and roasted
him on a spit while his wife and children watched. A dozen of the serfs
raped the lady of the manor while the children watched, and then they
forced her to eat the cooked flesh of her husband. Then they killed her.

Now that is serious class warfare.

Discussing whether the top one percent of the wealthy in this country
should pay a higher tax rate is not, though I think the "French"
treatment of a few dozen Wall Street chiefs and industrial chiefs would
provide quicker results.

Maybe the gov't should confiscate their 'proceeds of crime' and give
it back to those they stole from... the aerage citizen.

Can the government confiscate its own wealth? Not really, government
consumes it like a leach on the productive. Keep on sucking and consuming.

Fact is government is saddling massive amounts of debts to bailout
corrupt companies and provide you, your kids and grand kids with
debt-tax slavery.

Government can't solve this problem because government is the problem.
