Take the Class Warfare to the American Revolution: off with the Economic Royalists!

Now, that they are helping themselves even more to the public money, the obscenely rich are squealing: "class warfare" any time someone notices the theft (as if we are conjuring it by our mere words). Rather than passively say like Begala: "You started the warfare, we are defending ourselves" how about reviving FDR's word for the same type of people he had to deal with: "Economic Royalists". It is a useful reminder that today's rich and powerful are pursuing the very same goal as the English Crown and their American supporters (the Royalists), which is to preserve privilege.
