Class warfare is already going on, and so far the wealthy are winning by convincing everyone else that any attempt to get them to pay for the services they rely on to make their millions(or billions,) is an act of aggression, while they increase profit margins by stagnating their wages over a period of 40 years.
I agree that the tax on a federal level needs to be increased, but this whole class warfare thing? I don't see it.
It's not a war any more than there's a war between men and maggots, or dragons and wolves, or men riding dragons throwing wolves at maggots. It's more that the "elite" think they can get away with whatever they want(such as draining the economy to make absurd amounts of money for little more than paper shuffling,) and then paint the situation as an attack on them when anyone attempts to call them on it. It's an issue of perceptions, and the perception of the wealthiest is that they can do anything they want to do to anybody.
