I'm not afraid of class warfare. We outnumber the 1 percenters by like 99 to 1.
If Caterpillar workers decided to kill the chairman and CEO, he'd probably die. His goons might take out a few though.
And would that be a big loss? No, not really. Cat stockholders would pick a new CEO, who would no doubt act nicer to workers, lest he or she be lynched like his predecessor.
Things started to get better for workers in the 1930s and 1940s is that they were scared shitless there would be revolution.
Right now, there's really no bit worry that the poor and unemployed will hold a revolution. People enjoy their unemployment benefits, their Welfare. Sure, there are some poor and lower middle class who are revolting. But they are numb nuts who are worried Obama is a foreign-born socialist who wants to take their guns.
Now, I'm not advocating that people start killing CEO's. I'm just saying that because CEOs aren't worried about being hung from lamp posts if probably one of the reasons were are still in this recession.
