“We had to struggle,” he declared in 1936, “with the old enemies of peace — business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering. ... Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me — and I welcome their hatred.”

No one need look any further than Tim to see the state we are in. In all ernestness and innocence, he proclaims there is nothing wrong with disaster gouging/profiteering; of course, preferring the term, "making a profit" rather than gouging.

This notion that the rich are sacred and must be preserved and pampered all started with GM when it said: "what's good for GM is good for the nation". Since that wasn't quite true and since GM is now a God awful mess, that quote was changed under Reagan to read: "what's good for the rich is good for the nation".......and so began the birthing of supply side economics.

Its so ingrained in someone like Tim that he doesn't see the wrongness of that statement nor does he realize that it does little for him as a member of the middle class.

Getting the Tims of the world turned around is going to be a major job and there are a lot of them in this country.
