Cut the BS. Your rightwing revivionist history is a disgrace. Smearing FDR and trying to blame the depression on tax hikes and regulations?

What a phony baloney statement that was. People in those days were dead broke. So was the government. Money was needed to fund a recovery, just so people could eat, so taxes were the only way. It's called contributing to your country. And it eventually worked, but not Hoover's way, FDR's way. Which yes, involved socialism. Sometimes socialism works. That's just a fact.

Johnny Cash stated flat-out that his farming family was saved by FDR's community farm project in Dyess Arkansas. It was the promised land. But I guess you only care about how many millions the tycoons got to keep after they blew the top off the stock market, juiced, cheated and looted the system. You Bushies are all with the billionaires, and never with the people. That's your problem. You don't give a damn about average Americans problems.
