Government for the Rich by the Rich ~ Sad Commentary on American Politics
I’m worried about America!
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid,
worries about
“17 angry old white men”
buying the country.
“Perhaps Republicans want to shield a handful of billionaires willing to contribute nine figures to sway a close presidential election. … If this flood of outside money continues, the day after the election 17 angry old white men will wake up and realize they just bought the country. That’s a sad commentary.
“About 60 percent, or more, of these outside dollars are coming from these 17 people…”
“Government for the rich by the rich”
It was just over 100 years ago, when Helen Keller said:
“The few own the many because they possess the means of livelihood of all … The country is governed for the richest, for the corporations, the bankers, the land speculators, and for the exploiters of labor. The majority of mankind are working people. So long as their fair demands – the ownership and control of their livelihoods – are set at naught, we can have neither men’s rights nor women’s rights. The majority of mankind is ground down by industrial oppression in order that the small remnant may live in ease.”We should learn from history.
We used too!
Unfortunately, today we learn what the rich want us to learn!
Very Sad!

How Did The Rich Get So Rich?
Some say that they got rich after being sent a
Financial Abundance Angel
in an email forward.
( Just like the one below )
You have just been sent a Financial Abundance Angel!
You ARE already rich!!! I am not joking; you will find an un-expected windfall.
If you delete her, you will never know how she works?
She really does work like magic!
NO Pass Backs. Pay HER forward *** Pass it on
MY GUT FEELING is that it doesn’t work… but when in doubt, email forward!
In the words of a former Presidential silly candidate,
Michele Bachmann: “I don’t know where they’re going to get all this money
because we’re running out of rich people in this country.”
I guess she hasn’t heard of the
Financial Abundance Angel, yet!
