Another Senator in a different time and place read, I believe, the Manhattan phone book. I would submit the GE&H has more intellectual content than a phone book. However, you'd probably find more Nobel Prize winners in the phone book.
The latest step to turn the American worker into a serf.
The decent of the GOP kinda mirrors what happened to the Mafia in this country. Back when it was formed, the mob bosses were born dirt poor and climbed the ladder the hard way, but bumping off rivals. Their kids on the other hand were a bunch of private school educated, fancy car driving country clubbers with none of the ruthlessness of their predecessors. In a generation they were all but out of business.
Likewise, the GOP of the 70's was made up of self made men born poor but on a mission (Nixon, Reagan, Ford, etc). Their ideas were of course nonsensical, but didn't seem self serving given their upbringing. Now you have a bunch of Ivy League educated, born into wealth candy ***es like Bush, Romney, etc who really never had to work a day in their lives. Then they're flabbergasted when people on unemployment don't think giving Paris Hilton a tax break is going to improve the economy any. Like the aforementioned Mob, they're getting close to going out of business if they don't change their ways.
