AGAINST Social Security
AGAINST Civil Rights
AGAINST Helping the poor
AGAINST Affordable health care

I used to listen to a talk host many years ago who would draw parallels with the Nazis and the Republican Party-he used to say the only difference was the Nazis killed you outright, while the Republicans preferred killing you by inches

Better to pay slave wages and let their workers fend for themselves.

of returning todays' greedy white working class to the extreme poverty typical of southern slave-era whites in one. It's impossible, but if it where possible they would. We know that.

As it is, they could do dreadful harm to all.
