Ladies and Gentlemen I give you the theme song for most of our ruling elite...

And we know what happened a scant few years after this fictional depiction of Berlin in the 1930's...

Corporate money melding with Government dictate...

Don't even think it can't happen here...

1. What happens when the country thinks the 'ruling elite' rules everything?
I saw a lady today who had a t-shirt of Michelle Obama as Rosie the Riveter as the pic; didn't see the sentiment, but I loved it!

I love the fact that some people still believe!

4. Best lines:
I hate the men that sent the jobs away
I can see them all now, they haunt my dreams
All lily white and squeaky clean
They've never known want, they'll never know need
Their shit don't stink and their kids won't bleed
Their kids won't bleed in the damn little war
And we can't make it here anymore

10. The whole song hit home, but one sign stood out
Oil for the rich
Blood from the poor

Very topical. Why else do we give a shit what's happening in Afghanistan?

Fortunately for the rich, economic necessity is the cause of the patriotism that leads young people to enlist.

3. I think that it may already have done so...
The Congress and the President don't seem to acknowledge our existence, unless they want our money...

I may be just a little bit bitter, though...

6. I suspect we are irrelevant.
Most of their campaign money comes from the big donors, the huge corporations.
