I’ve always liked the idea of a forum for dialectic discussion but the implementation usually devolves into a forum for polemics resembling a cage fight more than a meeting of minds. Rather than disappoint by promising balance, I present Good Point Bad Point. Two points of view are presented but you’ll have to decide for yourself which is the good point and which is the bad.

Warren Buffett correctly said that class warfare has been going on for a long time, and the rich are winning. Republicans like to use the term “class warfare” for the same reason they rebranded “selfish billionaires” as “job creators” – to distract their middle class supporters from the truth.
Conservatives refuse to accept the idea we need to think of society as a whole. They are firmly committed to selfishness as a moral value. And as long as that is true, there will be battles – not between classes, but between ideologies.
We learned more than 30 years ago that systems thinking and dealing with a system holistically ALWAYS produces better results than by trying to manage each piece seperately. Too bad the conservatives are – well – conservative and won’t realize the truth for decades.
