A Handfull Of Rice

As Uncle Hugh used to say, “I always wondered why the bank had a crippled janitor on the daytime payroll. Why would they have a floor sweeper settin’ there in the corner all day lookin’ pitiful and doin’ nothin’ ‘til after closin’ time. Then it come to me that he was there so’s I’d have somebody else to feel sorry for while I was gittin’ fleeced.”

Here’s why the Democratic Party is coming out second best to a hardluck oil hustler-turned crowd huckster for a losing baseball team. Aside from the fact that the American people seem made for carnival barkers, that is.

First, let’s establish one incontrovertible fact: If you work, you don’t make enough money. If you draw a salary or run a local business, you’re being had by investment corporations who are putting your money in their pockets.

If the company paid workers more, they wouldn’t have to go to Waco to get cheap foreign crap at Wal Mart. And Wal Mart wouldn’t be able to sell cheap foreign crap a lower prices than working businesses if they had to pay decent wages. So my basic premise here is to pay workers and let Wall Street go to hell.

Sound like a Commie, don’t I?
