The "Class War" article posted below was published and received responses Pro and Con responses. This is an answer to the "Cons":
"Class War" Marx strikes back.

To the Albuquerque Journal: the title "Cast Off Chains of Oppression” (not my title) was a Journal selected title designed to bait the naysayers and beautifully reflects the Journal's politics. The Journal political bias can also be seen in the balance of responses to any progressive article – it is so "Journal".
To Fletcher Wilson, James McClure, Jimmy Wilemon, Harry Kerns and William Laurence McKinney: Thank you for your responses. My article was based on what is, not on how you may believe it should be. Capitalism has tax breaks and subsidies and the very favorable "Citizens United" Supreme Court decision. Like it or not capital manipulates politicians and the voters using an army of lobbyists and expensive TV and radio network ads selling the fiction that capitalism is there to help you. The message behind the obvious one is that you are there to help capitalism. You are there to support the economy -- not the other way around. While our taxes go for subsidies for huge corporations, taxable corporate profits are hidden in tax loopholes, offshore banks and "exemptions". Quietly capitalism moves jobs, the lifeblood of America, overseas to increase their profits. Try to find an American made products in WalMart or Target or Sears. Those were American jobs. More importantly, those were people, neighbors, friends, relatives, Americans. The reality is that capital doesn’t have to care. To increase profit capital fights environmental regulations, safety regulations, health regulations, financial regulations and fair taxation. The ideal capitalist or "free market" economic system hasn't existed for over a century if it ever did. Despite disgustingly huge profits and deficit devastating tax cuts corporations are not creating jobs. The unions you rage against have fought to keep those jobs in America but their economic and political power runs a weak second to corporate contributions in the political arena. Thanks to the poorly regulated financial markets millions are out of work. These millions really do want to work despite the conservative view that the unemployed and those drawing unemployment are lazy and unmotivated. Millions of hard-working Americans have lost their homes while banks profit from the resale of the foreclosed houses. Thanks to ineffectively regulated financial markets millions lost their retirement money and their savings. Banks continue to make profits. Wall Street continues to make profits. The wealthy continue to make big money. Elected officials scrabling for money to run for office again look to corporations to help them win and, now beholden to the corporate money, ignore the wishes of the voters who put them in office.
I believe that each of you who responded to my article wrote about a belief or an experience that is true for you or a belief you think is true for the nation but in the Real America there is another reality. The Real America is seeing the middle class savaged by corporate greed and socially blind capitalists. The American dream that my detractors believe in is just that, a dream. Despite Mr. Wilemon's belief, I'm not a devotee of Karl Marx, however Marx did have a few excellent points regarding capitalism. One of his points relevant today is that unregulated capitalism eventually implodes. Increasing wealth for a few and decreasing wealth and living standards for the many cannot be sustained. For those of you who believe a pure unadulterated Free Market exists, where all people have equal opportunity unhampered by political and economic walls, where willing workers can always get jobs, where corporations are there to help us to a better life then dream on. While you fantasize millions of Americans will be searching for security, peace of mind, and a job to support their needs. Good luck. Oh, and don’t forget a prayer for the capitalist who had to fire you because his profit margin was slipping.
