If there's a war, it's between people and other people.

> pointing out the existence of class war is politically incorrect

Let me guess: You're not in the US. Because turning the issue into a battle of rich-versus-poor is exactly what the Occupy Wall Street protests, the President's reelection rhetoric in the last election and the Democratic framing of the present "fiscal cliff" crisis are about.

On a tangential note, "fiscal cliff" is a brilliant term from a certain faction's marketing perspective -- once you describe the situation in that way, you've already committed to embracing a particular conclusion.
