When "class warfare" is typically discussed, it usually refers to the farmers, lower income or working class trying to negotiate for a larger share of the economic pie against landlords, government or business owners respectively. Sometimes there is a settlement and life goes on. Other times bitterness lingers for years or a generation.

Many might label the current feud that has erupted between The Daily Show host John Stewart and CNBC as part of this tradition of class warfare, but it has really exposed a rift between the investor class between Wall Street insiders and outsiders that have faithfully invested their money over the years to save for retirement, higher education, buy a home or whatever. This rift, has exposed a deep gulf of trust that could impact personal investment & savings patterns for generations if unresolved. And this has major implications for the future of capitalism and in particular publicly traded energy companies.
