Class warfare is an idea of one political party to use in their campaign and bash the other parties' candidate. I have no doubt you believe what you say but I think you need to listen and hear others! Listen to someone other than those who think just like you.
Yes, here is a prime example of your statement in bold above:

Quote:
"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them....

And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

Boy Howdy...
It's not an example of anything. It's some body's opinion.( you didn't even give source of this opinion.) I came from a very poor rural area in Pa and no one thought like that. As a matter of fact, they are great people, salt of the earth people, and would do anything for anybody. They truly were the friendliest hometown. Young people did leave the area to get jobs and make money. The town was proud we did well.

BACK to the Twinkies...Google why hostess is going into bankruptcy.( Some other company may be making twinkles in the future) Main reason was people aren't buying junk food like they use to. A whole bunch of other reasons too.
There are many good articles about the bankruptcy and not one mentions "class warfare"!

Look at some of the real reasons for Hostess Going Bankrupt.

1) Hostess bankruptcy didn't leave CEO and top execs with empty pockets - Baltimore Sun

Hostess CEO and top execs made out like bandits

The Baltimore Sun

November 25, 2012

Your recent article about the Hostess Inc. bankruptcy stated that the company blamed its closure on striking workers, but it failed to mention what else was happening as the company was trying to cut bakery workers' pay ("Hostess' shutdown prompts snack rush," Nov. 17).

Indeed, while it was filing for bankruptcy, Hostess tripled its CEO's pay and gave significant salary increases to its top executives. That's some bad HoHo.

or 2) http://www.examiner.com/article/the-...-went-bankrupt

the Examiner: The real reasons Hostess went bankrupt

No mention of class warfare. Reread the posts on Twinkies. The recipes will be sold as a major asset and we will still have Twinkies if people will buy them No market, no Twinkies. :icon_hungry:

While I think I can honestly say that I've never once eaten a Twinkie, I do/did like the Hostess cupcakes and Wonder Bread. Remember..Captain Kangaroo told us that Wonder Bread builds strong bodies 12 ways! I always believed the Captain.
This how some bakeries (where I came from) would close down for x number of days then open up under a different name (new owner) to break the union. They would reopen with non-union employes. Some other companies also did the same scenario. They have to close for a ? period of time to make this happen. That is why they wanted to close even before the judge made then negotiate.
