The Boys at Bill's Diner are debating what the Republicans mean by all their talk about "class warfare." George thought they were talking about the juniors and seniors who are planning pranks against each other for next week's homecoming game at Maple Valley. Bill replied, "No, that ain't it at all, George. They're talkin' about the poor goin' after the rich and taxin' them at a higher rate."
"That ain't class warfare," George replied. "That's just class fairness. Don't the rich already benefit from our economic system far more than the poor and middle class?"
The rest of the Boys had to agree. They're not sure why the Republicans are so bent on self-destruction. They know that the big money players will continue to fund anyone in Congress that will keep their money flowing, but at some point Main Street America is going to wake up and see that the rich don't create jobs, businesses do.
"So why don't we give a tax break to companies based on how many Americans they employ on American soil?" George asked. "Penalize those who use phony headquarters overseas?"
Again, the Boys had to agree. They urged George to run for Congress. "Sorry," he said. "You know Mary hates it when a job forces me to walk through [manure]."
