Careless Talk

I've heard some conservatives refer to Obama's 'minimum tax on the millionaires' proposal as "class warfare". That's careless talk. Class warfare is exemplified by the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the street battles of the Arab Spring, and urban American riots of the 19th and 20th centuries, not by a tax proposal that would still have the millionaires paying less than has been the historical norm. Conservatives should stop the outrageous language, else if and when true "class warfare" ever erupts, no one will heed their alarm. Actually, Obama's proposal might help prevent class warfare.
