Your class has done everything it could to stop every progressive legislation ever proposed in this country: the right to unionize, child labor, compulsory education, minimum wage, welfare relief,40 hour week, 8 hour day, safety, health, environment, consumer protection, voting rights, civil rights, women's rights, anti-trust, truth-in-advertising, progressive taxation, in short, anything that might threaten your precious profits. The funny thing is you prospered in spite of all that. You're too greedy and stupid to understand that a prosperous, free America is actually good for business, not a Communist conspiracy. Every single bit of progress of the last century has been declared the beginning of the slide to Socialsim. No one believes your self-serving crap any more.

The history of the last hundred years, from Teddy Roosevelt to the present, has been of one Conservative obstruction after another, and every one has worked for the better after it was overcome. You fought progress and decency every single step of the way, and when you were forced to retreat, you had the audacity to claim credit for every little victory the people paid for, sometimes in blood.

You can't deny it Tom. Your side's Red-baiting and foot-dragging, and violence (yeah, you used to break strikes with bayonets and Pinkerton thugs in your "good old days") is a long and unbroken history of greed, hate and lies.

America's strength and wealth has been gained in spite of your side, not because of it. And we are the envy of the world because of it.

As my grandfather used to say to people like you,

"I am no Communist, but if it weren't for people like you, we wouldn't need any."
