Ace, forgive me, friend. I am passionate in my ire toward those who would abuse the working people of this and every country. For we are the producers; everything manufactured or grown or carted anywhere or CLEANED, we the working people do. The wealthy, the idle wealthy, of which there are many, are the true enemy.
I am not anti-corporation. Not anti-capitalist. My vitriol is directed at the leeches. While decrying the welfare rolls, corporations suck at the public teat whenever they can, and because they can buy the politicians (Repub and Democrat alike), they are seldom pushed away from the cash cow.
Walt Disney was a producer. HE, his vision, his energy, made the name Disney synonymous with children having fun. During his lifetime his yearly salary was a tiny fraction of the $240+ million ripped from the hands of the parents of small children yearly by CEO Michael Eisner, who produced nothing. Eisner's yearly take-home exceeds the take-home of 5,000 American middle class families! Corporate CEOs are the true enemies, for they don't do very much. Indeed, they are often anti-production, which might make the company a target of a takeover by a larger, greedier corporation CEO.
Back to George W. Bush. He is not the problem. He is merely a convenient mouthpiece. A willing stooge for those who will rape the American treasury; those who will strip a mountain bare of trees; those who will pump raw chemicals into our rivers. Because they hide beneath a blanket called "corporation," these thieves and murderers do get away with murder.
Please do not fear government. Government is seldom the problem-- it is seldom the sole, or even the best, solution. But allowing corporations to regulate themselves is usually a mistake. Because corporations are barracudas; they eat their young.
George W. Bush is dangerous because he will besuch a willing--eager--stooge. And, please believe me, the man truly is an idiot.
Again, please forgive me if my attack became personal toward you. I mean no disrespect. For you are a working man. You and I and all other members of the middle class are in this together.
