We should be screaming bloody murder. We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, "Stay the course." Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America, not the damned Titanic. I'll give you a sound bite: Throw the bums out!"  |
I agree with his comments in 2007 and not sure what that has to do with CAMPBELLSOUP comments !!!
This is still a country of re distribute the income and there will be no more of those guys who made it with hard work and dedication...it is not worth it.
If you are not politically correct and involved with the government you are dubbed a "bad guy" !!
I am not cannonizing Lee....I met him and his father a few times....but he was a straight talking free market guy. He had a lot of issues with the Bush administration and most of them were legit. He did NOT borrow money from the government, at least I dont think so...he simply wanted their backing which led to funds as I recall !!!
