Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Triumphant Plutocracy: The Story of American Public Life From 1870 to 1920 The American people should know the truth about American public life. They have been lied to so much and hoodwinked so often that it would seem only fair for them to have at least one straight-from-the( shoulder statement concerning this government "of the people, by the people and for the people," about whose inner workings the people know almost nothing. The common people of the United States, like the same class of people in every other country, mean well, but they are ill-informed. Floundering about in their ignorance, they are tricked and robbed by those who have the inside information and who therefore know how to take advantage of every turn in the wheel of fortune. The people voted for Roosevelt because he talked of "trust-busting" at the same time that he was sanctioning the purchase of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company by the Steel Trust. They supported Wilson "because he kept us out of war" at the same time that Wilson was making preparations to enter the war. The rulers can negotiate "secret treaties" at home and abroad. The people, knowing nothing of either the theory or the practice of secret diplomacy, commit all sorts of follies for which they themselves must later foot the bill. At the present moment the American people are being taught "Americanism" - taught by the same, gentry who are making away with billions of dollars, sometimes "legally" and sometimes without any sanction in the law.
