Thom Hartmann: The 1% don't want the poor to eat...unless it's out of a trashcan



One percenters are threatening to destroy America - and the middle-class is hanging on by a thread. How can we eliminate the threat from FDR's "economic royalists" - and restore the American Dream?

Nazis and crypto-Nazis in Europe seem especially angry at homeless people; which is ironic, given that their great hero, Adolph Hitler, was himself homeless in Vienna.

Our neighbors in Latin America have given us a Blue Print for Change.


[font size=3]"The worst enemy of humanity is U.S. capitalism. That is what provokes uprisings like our own, a rebellion against a system, against a neoliberal model, which is the representation of a savage capitalism. If the entire world doesn't acknowledge this reality, that nation states are not providing even minimally for health, education and nourishment, then each day the most fundamental human rights are being violated."[/font]
----Bolivian Reform President Evo Morales


FDR said much the same thing in 1944 with his Economic Bill of Rights,
but THAT Democratic Party is as dead as FDR.

As long as the 1% can keep us divided,
they will retain control.
When the Working Class & The Poor realize WE have more in common with each other
than we have in common with the 1% and their employees in Washington,
THEN we can have "CHANGE."



You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
