Michael Moore: America Is Not Broke

Contrary to what those in power would like you to believe so that you'll give up your pension, cut your wages, and settle for the life your great-grandparents had, America is not broke. Not by a long shot.

"Were were broke" so all the republicans went to congress and voted yesterday in favor of subsidies for the oil companies. It so sounds like a joke but it is the truth.

It's all about fear tactics. First it was, "the commies want to take over." Then it was "the terrorists want to destroy us all," along with strategically timed adjustments to the terror alert level. Then it went back to "commies . . . commies . . . Obama's a socialist." Now it's "we're broke." It's just fear tactics.

FTA-The United States faces a "looming bankruptcy, Charles Koch, the billionaire industrialist, wrote in The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday."

With this family part of the original John Birch Society members starting in 1958, guess they can now claim "Mission Accomplished"
IF we could ever uncover their financial organizational chart, we would find our money.
