Rich Chicken hawks have made big bucks on America's wars from the Revolution to Bush-Cheney's WMDLESS Crusade in Iraq. They keep their children safe and sound and usually drugged or drunk in some Ivy League Ivory Tower while the working class kids are sent off to die for Exxon.
Finally a Democratic majority in the Congress is demanding that the wealthy pay for their God-forsaken war. Wall Street moguls are up in arms about this perceived injustice. Their arguments sample much of American military and economic history.
Dartmouth historian, DA Poore Die-Forerich has gathered an exhaustive list of America's really rich rulers who sent the poor to die: "Jefferson was fucking slaves while Washington watched his men freeze at Valley Forge from a heated tent. USA leaders lounged in comfort throughout every American war. Up till today we can see the pattern. Men and women the same age as the Bush twins are killing Iraqi wedding parties as the Bush sisters are celebrating Texas cult unions. Chelsea Clinton and Obama's three year old have dodged military service.When will our leaders and their toddlers join the fight?!"
