Time For The Deep Pockets On The Left To Pony Up

[Joeve]

This is a transcript of Joe Vecchio's daily "Cup O' Joe Report" podcast, availaible via "screaming audio" here and posted with the permission of the author.

Ben Burch of the White Rose Society has another fundraiser going on. Ben does fantastic work in archiving numerous radio shows, including the Cup O'Joe Show, done by yours truly. I'm not bringing that up just because I'd like you to make a donation, which of course I do, but to highlight, once again the problems we face on the left. Yes, that means I'm going to get all "negative" again.

A big reason why the right now dominates the message in this country is that, years ago, they threw a lot of money into creating media outlets to have their voices heard. Through a combination of corporate money and money from financiers such as Richard Mellon Scaife, they bought radio stations, newspapers and magazines and otherwise spread the wealth around.

But that's not what we do. People like Ben and myself are forced to beg for donations because the moneypockets on the left are stingier with their wallets than any Scrooge. Where the right will put a million dollars into some new venture and give people the freedom to run things, the left will hand out fifty thousand and demand accountability for every penny. We seem to think that there's something wrong with earning a buck while fighting for the cause, and that's just plain garbage. As I've said before, there is no dignity in poverty, and no amount of money is going to protect the wealthiest people on the left if the right should gain the kind of power they want.

It's way past time they started to put up or be shut up. Because if we go, they go, too.
