Unintended consequences

Editor:

When Woodrow Wilson got us in World War I do you really think he knew that would give rise to Communist Russia who helped start World War II and that would spread to China and would lead to the Cold War and that would give us the Korean War, then Cuba, then the Vietnam War and the vacuum it created in the Middle East, which gave us multiple conflicts there, which gave us 1991 Gulf War, then the 9-11 attack, then the war in Afghanistan then the second Gulf War.

This President is starting Class War. What will be the unintended consequences of this war?

Examples of this war are the constant attacks with help of the media on successful people and companies saying they don't pay their fair share. Why is an athlete or movie star or rock star who makes $10 or $20 million a year and fly in their private jets held in high esteem, but a business executive who makes the same money but has created 10,000 jobs, he is evil rich. Makes no sense to me unless you are just vote grabbing.

What is the definition of "fair share''. Are these just focus group words that no one can be against. Where is the media to ask and how dumb is the electorate not to demand the definition.

No one knows the unintended consequences of this class war so maybe it is best not to start the war in the first place.
