The billionaires and their lackeys are going after Joe, because Joe is going after them!

He's going after their ridiculous tax breaks, subsidies, and nefarious loopholes. He's going after their stranglehold on growth. He's going after their corporatist/fascist agenda. American oligarchs have always put their corrupt interests over the good of the Republic. ALWAYS. And they are terrified that a second Biden administration could mean the beginning of the end of their unchecked ability to cheat, swindle and steal by fleecing the great American middle class.

And these amoral aholes have their lackeys dancing around on their strings, spewing nonsense in their attempts to overturn the inevitable blue wave that is coming in November.

At least that's how I see it at the moment.

They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.

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.

I should like to have it said of my first Administration that in it the forces of selfishness and of lust for power met their match. I should like to have it said of my second Administration that in it these forces met their master.

The American people know from a four-year record that today there is only one entrance to the White House--by the front door. Since March 4, 1933, there has been only one pass-key to the White House. I have carried that key in my pocket. It is there tonight. So long as I am President, it will remain in my pocket....


Franklin D. Roosevelt, Campaign Address at Madison Square Garden (October 31, 1936). In Samuel I. Rosenman, ed., The Public Papers and Addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt (New York: Random House, 1938), 5:566-73.

Joe could give this speech and not be far off from the truth of it.
