They dumb down the populace to make it easier for the 1% to enslave us.

As I miss ole Frank, his ideas and especially his wit and music...gone too soon. But he is still on the mark with this church scam to evade taxes...even when they get very political telling church members how to vote...it ain't right and contributes to red ink that promotes austerity bullshit.

Some of his compositions will probably stand the test of time.

He was also a social and political visionary.

Yes, I miss his presence among us.

He was a self-taught musical and intellectual genius and treasured iconoclast. Frank and George Carlin - we could really use those two right about now.

The fact that they have so much money to put into the extremely over elaborate churches and would rather spend money on material items rather than people, leads us all to believe that taxing these institution is a given.
