GREETINGS FOR 1948
"Senator Taft Cure for Initiation
Eatless 1913"
| One mans Opinioni
We are heading for the end of the
/ road / am very sorry to say the end
| of Democracy, as we have known it.
| Here is why our country has been
! handed into the hands Of the enemies
of everything that is human and de-
cent. The greedy boards of the mon
ey changers by the greatest number
of rubber stamps in the history of
our congress-big business, big car
tells, National Association of Manu-
facturers-wrote the Taft-Hart1ey law.
Why, because they knew the rubber
stamps would force it through. One
of our tenderfoot senators from Mon
tana, when asked about the Taft-Hart-
ley law-admitted he never read the
bill but a colleague from New York
was going to vote for the bill-that
was good enough for him. A bill that
has destroyed the rights of the work
ingman-rights that have taken years
and years to achieve
Well the Republicans better check
the records starting, with Lincoln who
freed the slaves-Silent Herb re-en-
shaved them; President Roosevelt re-
freeded them; then, comes Taft-Hart-
ley, Denham. and Ball and their first
move is reinstatement and think they
can get away with it.
Taft's cure for initiation is-EAT-
|LESS-Well, to bad, we are not back
in the days of Silent Herb, then Taft
could have told us-EATMORE-be
cause, Silent Herb was dishing out
beans and bullets.
President Roosevelt came along just
in time to halt our nation on the
brink of revolution and save us from
complete destruction. Well, we all
know what they called him. They
even called him pro-communist, that
is, some of our tools of big business.
Now our Big Four Rubber Stamps
Taft, Hartley, Denham and Ball are
trying to tell the workers they are
sure to be better off by going down
on their knees and begging for crumbs
from the money changers Seems
strange they don't attend our union
conventions or our union meetings
anywhere and explain the wonderful
benefits of the Big Fours Law.
see by the newspapers they are
the heads of the German
cartels. Seems to me our tax money
would be better spent and with more
benefits to the people, if we started
prosecuting at home.
Seems to me also, the unions are far
too modest-in their demands to bet
ter the working conditions and the
living conditions for the wage earners.
let's have a more. equal
distribution of the wealth we produce
They are showing up with an awful
lot of plans-the Marshall Plan for
Europe. Why not have an American
Plan for the American People who
furnish the money for the Marshall
Plan? Let's start off with a mini
mum yearly wage of $4,000, adequate
insurance against sickness and disa-
3ility.
Let's have Democracy the way it
vas intended-gove of the peo-
lie, by the people, for the people, not
government of, by, and for Wall
Street. That way we should be able
o more easily sell Democracy to the
Europeans who seem reluctant to ac-
ept Wall Streets form of Democ-
acy
There is too much propaganda con-
erning Russia's IRON CURTAIN,
While they tighten the STEEL CUR
AIN here at home and hide the true
acts from the American people. |
ont ever remember congress being
nfested with so many investigating
ommittees-all seeking political adj
antages.
Well, here is. my suggestion, let's set
p an investigating committee to in
estigate the Investigating commit
ees-then maybe we could penetrate
he steel curtain?
In the meantime eatless, work more,
nd above all-keep your damn trap
