terry and young still pennsylvania he terry welcome to anything goes friday
heart problem
i'm just wondered if you ever read an article called how the g_o_p_ became the
party of the rich by kelly decryption it was evil way so the magazine and it
good lays out well how
held *** cheney uh... hijacked
the uh...
which his presidency in order to uh...
enable the rich too
table on taxes sending
that helps calmer and survive and halliburton was on the banking on the
verge of bankruptcy when *** cheney became vice president
and and now after all these no-bid contracts are one of the wealth is
corporations probably in america certainly around the world
uh... no i i i saw the article i red pieces of it i skimmed at
but in real word-for-word always say though that
really the republican party became a party a rich in the late eighteen
seventies early eighteen eighties
when they were co-opted by the railroad barons
there is an attempt by parece is to take back the republican party cuz originally
was a progressive party you know when when abe lincoln signed up in eighteen
sixty was turn eighteen fifty six in jackson michigan
and you know originally as a brisk brighter than it was hijacked by the
railroad barons in the eighteen seventies eighteen eighties and then in
nineteen oh one when mckinley was the sas nate is vice president teddy
roosevelt
was a uh... uh... closet progressive and he came out
and started pushing progressive perspectives in the progressives came
back in
you had uh... parece of republicans right up through the early nineteen
twenties and buy it
by the time of the presidency of warren harding it pretty much stamped out all
the paralysis in the republican party
and uh... it once again become exclusively the party of the rich has
pretty much stay that way ever since
makes sense but yeah
that's intense it started so it's what's happenin
and and there was this kind of dark period where you had uh... you know one
president grover cleveland was the only democrat elected president from the time
of the civil war after andrew jackson's a render johnson rather that you know
lincoln's vice president was a democrat
and uh... premise of course the total picture
on but uh... and from that time until
until woodrow wilson
uh... you didn't have another democratic president other than grover cleveland
grover cleveland in his eighteen eighty seven say the union address
came right out and sat
that because of the corporate form because of his trust in combinations
other wealthy you know i have an i_r_a_ keough on the neck of average americans
i encourage you go we have written about it several times if you just google thom
robb and grover cleveland it'll prolly popup will grover cleveland iron helio
get it
uh... war just be a re-growth her cleveland's eighteen eighty seven c the
union address
but then and he was a democrat he was elected twice and they were consecutive
terms interestingly enough
there is a republican in between
and uh... but that's that's kind of the thumbnail history the republican party
and and uh... in modern days it's got much more toxic certainly with ***
cheney
but i would agree with that i wouldn't disagree attend a person
but i'd be out in the republican party's always been the party the rich dwight
eisenhower sort of moderated baton tried to make them the party the middle class
and in banking fifty-six
uh... if you look at the young republicans you know that they've had
posters talking about how you know we're all in favor of labor and we know we've
expanded social security and it was part of public and party platform you read
the nineteen fifty six republican party platform
it wasn't more moderate but still they were the party of business the party of
third that the wealthy interests
and now they're just making about it you know the the they don't they don't care
what anybody thinks
terry thank you for the call
