I Like Ike
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are...Texas oil millionaires and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."
-- President Dwight D. Eisenhower, November 8, 1954
I guess things haven't changed all that much in the last 50 years.
Except that now the Texas oil millionaires and the Republicans think they can do away with Social Security and labor laws and still stay in power.
The Neo-Conservatives seem to be saying, "We will do what we want to increase our corporate fortunes, and we will keep on doing it until somebody stops us."
Well, I think the American People, just might be the ones to stop them.
We should takes Ike's advice and make sure these guys are not heard from again.
