This Is What Class War Looks Like: A National Campaign, State by State

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article27747.htm

While the middle class is struggling just to stay above water, the wealthy have tasked their puppets in the GOP with waging a three-pronged attack against what remains of middle-class power and wellbeing.  It is a strategy that is being waged state by state across the country and also at the federal level in Washington, D.C.  The strategy is simple:

First, pass massive tax cuts that primarily benefit large corporations and wealthy individuals.

Second, use the resulting loss of revenue to declare a "financial crisis" and begin making massive cuts to state and federal budgets.  

Third, undermine the ability of middle and working class people to fight back by taking away their rights to collective bargaining and by selling off the institutions of a democratic state.
