the old songs and wisdom.

I was thinking the other day about the way the banks and financial houses have stolen the peoples pensions, money and homes. They are just a bunch of robbers. 

Woodie Guthrie wrote a great line in a song when he was talking about bank robbers in the 1930's and about the slump at that time which devastated peoples' lives. He wrote: "Some rob you with a six gun and some with a fountain pen." This is great. I suppose today's version would be: "Some rob you with an automatic weapon and some with a computer." 

The bankers are all a bunch of robbers. They have forfeited all right to have positions of responsibility and wealth in the country. Just like their capitalist system has forfeited all right to exist. For a Democratic Socialist Federation of the World.
