America's grossly unfair tax system won't lead to class war. Or, if it does, the war will be brief.

If we're not going to tax the rich anymore, we're going to create class warfare.
You know what isn't class warfare? Progressive taxation, as in, say, expecting billionaires to pay at least as much in taxes as their secretaries. Ideally, in fact, they should pay more.
War against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going to profit from it.
Nothing is more important in the face of a war than cutting taxes.
Our platform calls for a balanced deficit reduction plan where the wealthy pay their fair share. And when your country is in a costly war, with our soldiers sacrificing abroad and our nation facing a debt crisis at home, being asked to pay your fair share isn't class warfare - it's patriotism.

Democrats single out glaring examples of tax preferences or spending priorities that favor the wealthy and Republicans cry 'class warfare!'
There will be a big tax cut for the middle class. But any tax cuts we have for the upper class will be offset by less deductions that will pay for it.
And it would be fair. Everyone will pay the same tax and it will eliminate tax cheaters and corporate shenanigans.
War involves in its progress such a train of unforeseen circumstances that no human wisdom can calculate the end; it has but one thing certain, and that is to increase taxes.
