How the Haves and the Have More's would have Us be.
Hey Folks -
Here's what they've been doing to us figuratively ever since the end of WW II.
“I have read in E. P. Thompson’s ‘The Making of the English Working Class’ that the first man who attempted to establish a labor union in England at the end of the 18th century was arrested, tried for sedition, found guilty, drawn and quartered in a public square by attaching draft horses to each of his arms and legs and pulling him apart. He was then disemboweled and his guts were burned. Then they hanged what was left of him. One gathers from this that the propertied classes were slow to accept the idea of organized labor.”
- Robert Hass, Washington Post September 5, 1999.
The propertied classes are slow to accept a lot of things, and they would do us all in if they didn't need us as the objects of their exploitation and the engine of their prosperity.
