"Trifecta of Torment: higher unemployment, worse deficits and greater inequity":

Nicholas Kristof, who normally reports on the atrocious behavior of men in underdeveloped countries committed against women, weighs in on the argument that things could have been worse under Republican rule and will be if the Republicans gain any advantage in the coming elections.

The Republicans are fond of warning the working class that they, the rich, need to be allowed to continue gaming the system to the max in order to prevent "class warfare." Kristof quotes Warren Buffett to remind us that "class warfare" already exists and that the rich are now, as they always have been, winning.
