"Class War: WE HAVE FOUND NEW HOMES FOR THE RICH"
The image is of a graveyard, of row upon row of white crosses on a black background. "Look at this," he says, showing me a swatch of cloth on the other side of his shirt.

I call him Class Warrior. He stands in front of me at a Circle K station. He is an outsider, excluded from the winnings market free play has placed in the coffers of wealthy insiders. He doesn't look like he's thriving in our capitalist environment.

Everyone in Tucson who looks Mexican, as this young man does, is now suspected of being illegal and must show proof to the contrary. It may be that now the greatest transgressive spirit hangs on the identity of Mexicans, of Chicanos, who are all under suspicion in Arizona's capitalist environment.


I expect anger and here it is, standing right in front of me. Something in the capitalist environment has engineered the bloody politics of revolt that is summed up on the back of the black T-shirt he wears:

"Class war: we have found new homes for the rich," it spells out in all caps.

The image is of a graveyard, of row upon row of white crosses on a black background. "Look at this," he says, showing me a swatch of cloth on the other side of his shirt. The message again screams out through capital letters.

1. Well, they are saying pry it from their cold, dead hands.
Whereas I am humanely offering massive punitive taxation to prevent this sort of thing from happening.

My far more gentle tee shirt would say TAX THE RICH OR TAKE A HIKE.

4. I do not advocate violence, but if Democrats don't get off the teat of the rich
and represent the rest of us, other people might feel they have no choice since it is nearly impossible for third parties to get enough traction to change things within the system.

5. We have found new homes for the rich
That is the only answer.
