Possibly like a landless peasant in Tsar Nicholas's Russia?
Oooooh. Nasty implications there.
;)
Hi Mcgo,
Could you tell me what is meant in that article by this: - they have 43% direct/indirect of US treasuries
Don't worry, there are no foreign powers trying to install a revolutionary regime in the USA. Totally unlike Russia in 1917 where foreign backed agents such as Lenin and Trotsky seized the moment.
You're not counting Multinational corps, right?
Oh, wait, they're already in charge, I forgot.
"What does it feel like to live in a land where you don't own the means of production, and the profit is shipped overseas?"
The folks in the U.S. south are used to it....ask folks from states that have provided the U.S. with the power for the industrial revolution for over a century in the form of coal, but can't afford electric power to their own homes....don't believe it? Go to West Virginia, Eastern Kentucky, Eastern Tennessee or North Alabama....
The poorest states in the land have long provided wood for the paper and lumber mills, grain for the food makers and breweries, coal and natural gas for the power plants (gee, why hasn't the people of Louisiana profited from all of that natural gas?), and iron ore for the skyscrapers of the world.....
This is not a new thing, folks....it's just that the Yankee intellectuals are not used to the thought that it could happen to them....
