Class war is not just inevitable but justifiable writes Rick Bookstaber, who serves on the Obama administraiton’s Financial Stability Oversight Council.
I wonder if he thinks those Occupy Wall Street protesters breaking out the glass of banks is “justifiable.”
Rick Bookstaber, who currently serves on the Financial Stability Oversight Council, the federal body established under the Dodd-Frank Act to “ensure the stability of our nation’s financial system,” took issue with conservative commentator Tucker Carlson’s accusations that liberals were engaging in “class warfare” by seeking to blame the nation’s fiscal problems on a small number of wealthy individuals.
“There is little that matches the artfulness of the rich in waving off criticism of the widening income gap as ‘class warfare,’” Bookstaber wrote. “And there is little that matches the gullibility of the rest in following along.”
“I am not picking sides in this war,” he added, “but I believe such a war is justifiable, and indeed ultimately inevitable.”

Why wouldn’t Obama’s advisor quote Marx? Obama is a Marxist and so are his cohorts. Their only goal is to destroy Capitalism and the Constitution and convert this nation to Socialism.
All the more reason not to send boys to Congress to do a man’s job of removing these insurgents. Here’s my video on the subject. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnYLuNlgfFs
If you own guns make sure you have plenty of ammo, your gonna need it to protect yourself and family from the Anti-American Commie in the White House.
Obama, his czars, and his other cronies are communist revolutionaries. They want to foment the total collapse of the constitution of the USA. They want racial riots, economic riots, and other forms of public unrest so they can bring in the DHS to put down the “trouble” by force, and then “postpone” the November elections, and guarantee Obama another term, or even declare him “President For Life”. Think I’m crazy?
They are setting the stage for all this right now. This is what these Revolutionaries learned to do over the last several decades, and it has worked in many countries.
Why do you think the Kenyan imposter wants a domestic military force equal to our armed forces, and as well funded if not to put down the coming insurrection? I for one, while old, am not too old to handle a gun and defend my home and family until they pry my guns from my cold dead hands. The Commie in chief has as his first goal if Americans are stupid enough to re-elect him through fraud like the first time, the violent civil war to declare no more elections and to name himself a dictator in fact.
I’m old too but they taught us well in Nam didn’t they — I will stand with you against obama and his cronies. They will take my life before they take away my America.
Members of our political “elite” in both parties and in both the Senate and the House know that Obama is not an American and that he is not elligible to be president. They are complicit in this fraud because they love their status, their perks, and their perceived power. Just like the Communist party leaders in Eastern Europe knew that Stalin was murdering millions, but did not do anything to stop it, and in fact helped him and his successors.
Marxism is anti-God. Therefore, it speaks with a mind that is antithetical to that of God. Biblical history is rife with accounts of movements, nations and governments which were against God’s revealed wisdom. Every “socialist” type of government in history survived but a short time and collapsed from within, not only for financial reasons, but also for social reasons. Immorality, destruction of the family, lack of incentive because of overregulation, and massive corruption which undermined every such government. Intellectual dishonesty was rampant, and everyone blamed everyoine else! So, be prepared for misery. Be prepared for hypercontrol and loss of everything you ever held dear under our Constitution, It’s happening already!
Gunny!! Such ignorance, like Obama´s and yours is shameful, to say the least. Marx´s proposals have been more than fulfilled decades ago. No wonder that your kind has brought the US to the unstoppable finacial and social disaster that is about to engulf America. Lerarn about it a$$ole.
Been censored because I commented about Marx being way outdated….. and said taht the guy and Obama have brought the US to the brink of Financial and Social disater. Am I wrtong?
Sorry, wasn´t censored…. comment was just delayed. Am feeling desperate with the situation Obama and the Congress have created. Why does he have Dictatorial powers, after which the Feds started purchasing 450 million rounds of hollow point ammo and items that only may be used against American citizen? And nobody is doing antything against the illegal alien in the WH. No laws nor constitution working agaist the guy. Stand up America!!!
Who is REALLY shocked by this? Anyone remember Anita Dunn, the former Obama spokeswoman? She openly quoted Marx in Obama’s first year and got shown the door. The administration is just testing the water again to see if an embrace of Marxism is more palatable now. This guy is a throwaway. If people raise hell, he’ll be booted, and the administration will act as though they had no idea why he said this. If we say nothing, he stays on and the administration inches closer to its Marxist/Socialist agenda. I say we raise hell.
Some one needs to point out a few documented facts to Mr. Bookstaber.
Forbes Wealthiest lists 8 out of 10 of the wealthiest in America are self professed Liberal Democrats, and the wealthiest top ten in Congress mirrored that percentage, until the 2010 landslide cut the percentage to 7 out of the 10 Wealthiest in Congress being Liberal Democrats.
Let’s also not forget that every one of the Liberal Lefts News analysts that slam the tax breaks for the rich, are themselves drawing millions, and in some cases tens of millions in yearly paychecks.
The very people who are demonizing all the tax breaks for the wealthy, are themselves the very same people that have taken advantage of every one of them, up to and including Barack Obama.
(Ironic a man named BookStaber would quote a man like Marx).
