Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945), 32nd US president
"It is an old maxim and a very sound one, that he that dances should always pay the fiddler. Now, sir, in the present case, if any gentlemen, whose money is a burden to them, choose to lead off a dance, I am decidedly opposed to the people's money being used to pay the fiddler...all this to settle a question in which the people have no interest, and about which they care nothing. These capitalists generally act harmoniously, and in concert, to fleece the people, and now, that they have got into a quarrel with themselves, we are called upon to appropriate the people's money to settle the quarrel." Abraham Lincoln, January 11, 1837
FROM THE PAST, A VIEW OF YOUR FUTURE. She has just sold her tent "Home" to get money to buy food for her children.
I do know that most of you out there perhaps find the lead photos in this series somewhat offensive, reality can sometimes work that way, but these are real which is why I am using them. But it is not my purpose to offend. Shock you yes. Shock you to the point where you get up off your ass and at least try to stop the impending disaster that is about to strike. For scenes like this can and will become real once again in the not too distant future. And I can assure you that if you allow the congress to go ahead with their Now I know most of you are quite certain something like this could never take place again. But you are wrong. Very wrong. Just look around you. Look at your friends South of the border. One of the richest countries in the hemisphere in resources and look at the depth of poverty there. And at the same time, check out the opulance of the few. Remind you of anything? And the really terrifying part of this is that it is an article of faith amongst the Rethuglicans that FDR's policies actually retarded the economic recovery and that the only thing that got the economy back up and running was WWII. So when this shit doesn't work, as it will not, watch out Iran! And with it will come martial law in the USA. Reason, anyone who protests against yet another war is a danger to the security of the nation and must be interned. Without any charges of course and with no recourses to the courts. At least their will be a boom in the manufacture of orange jumpsuits. With a "Made in China" on the label. And look what is happening at the moment in the USA with the disgusting proposal to bail out the theives that have stolen every thing that was not red hot or nailed down and now that there is nothing left to steal they want you to pour 700 billion right in their pockets. And both McSlime and Obama are going right down the line with them. They know which side of the bread the butter is on don't they. But let me remind all of you one thing. Herbert Hoover tried exactly the same solution. Empty the treasury and pour the money into the bankers pockets. And you can see how well that worked by looking at the heading photo again. It was taken in 1940. And now, the Senate has passed a cobbled up version of the same shit. So, let me ask you a couple of questions esteemed candidates. Will this shit you are so hot for fix one pothole in the roads of America? No? Gosh, what a surprise. Will this shit you have cobbled together at the behest of your paymasters on Wall Street add a single school room to American's decidely inferior schools? A single teacher? Again no, what? And it goes without saying that it will not save a single family from having their homes forclosed. No fucking way! That would be socialism! And we sure as shit can't have that. What you evil pricks call what you have been doing with the banks that have gone bust I am waiting to hear. But give tax breaks all over the patch you certainly can. Wouldn't be because you both are going to enjoy some big savings in taxes now would it? Because how the fuck is this going to help people that have no job? Or the people living in poverty? And the most ironic of all is the extra tax rebate for home owners. When at a minimum 2.5 million families are going to have their homes foreclosed in the coming year. I'm just certain they will be down on their knees thanking you for such magnificent aid in their hour of need. But McSlime will surely be jumping through his arse over this. What with 7 different houses this could add up to a nice little payday for our wee war hero. I believe the below says it all.

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to the point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group or any controlling private power."
giveaway bailout plan it will not be long in coming. And if you add to that the election of Senator McSlime and Tillie from the Tundra they will arrive before he has been in office a year.
