A cartoon that isn't funny

128. There is only one solution, just one to our present disaster, elect Democrats.

It is IMPERATIVE that the Republicans are defeated in every election, be it local, state or federal. They are obstructionists that have brought the nation to the brink of collapse. They have engineered the massive transfer of wealth to the top 10% while impoverishing the working class.

I would like to remind Americans that until the Civil War the government was totally financed by tariffs. The Founders realized one fundamental economic truth. For a nation to be successful and its citizens a measure of economic stability, the country must be self sustaining. When corporations are allowed to outsource manufacturing to take advantage of virtual slave labor wages not only without any reprisals, but with tax breaks, the wellbeing of the working class was doomed.

Unfortunately, much of what has transpired has been the result the working class swallowing the propaganda that unions were their enemy, tariffs were anti-productive, and they would be well taken care of by a benevolent management. The fact is they allowed themselves to be taken for a ride to the poor house. It is not the fault of the Global Economy, its the same old greed that enslaved American workers until Roosevelt overturned laws prohibiting unions and laid the foundation for the greatest transformation in the well fare of the working class in the history of mankind.
