Groucho Marx was yesteryears David Letterman, but more widey liked and not a progressive.
Its not the Repubican's anthem. Morrons. Groucho sings a sarcastic verse, sitting in a canoe strumming a guitar as Miss Bailey rows. This is in line with his suspicions about the college widow's intentions through the entire film. Do your research.
There is a difference between Conservatives, Tea Party Partriots and Repubicans. The first two are trying to get rid of the latter.
This nails down what the Deems (sic) have has as policy for the past 10 years or so. Well, if it was something that strips citizens of rights and gives more power to the government, they tend to favor it.
That is a crazy way to look at things. You think that just because you're born in America you deserve to be given things because you deserve to be happy? I honestly don't get your train of thought. People in factories with a HS education "work hard," do they deserve the same things as people that have a college degree and work 14 hour days, if it makes them happy?
Why, yes! They're working, aren't they? And you realize you're talking to a communist, right? So, I'd kind of like everyone to have access to the means of happiness. I find it as crazy to believe that people can't get what they need to be happy, because they do a seemingly less important job.
You're a communist, GREAT, there's a country for you already! CHINA!!! Because that system seems to work so well, right? No, it's a pipe dream. Your job importance is decided by society, that's why your doctors make more then your burger flippers and that makes total sense. You are paid what "society" deems you are worth, if you were worth more, they would be paying you more.
Bahaha, China? Communist? Go take a look at their economy. It's not communist.
We communists actually believe that everyone is equal, so they are free to do as they please. If someone wants to become a doctor, they can. If somebody wants to be an engineer, they can.
People don't become doctors and engineers for the money only. Money is only a means of getting towards happiness.
Wasn't there a country about thirty years ago that had the exact system you want and it failed? You can think what you want but someone isn't going to be a doctor and have the life and death stress that goes along with it so they can make the same money as a hamburger cook. It is in no way realistic. In this little Utopia of yours, what happens to the ones that live off of the system?
Russia was considered a Communist Government and it failed. You can name the country and yes it was communist. There are many articles on it. So you're saying you take away all aid to people that don't have jobs, right? Where do you put them to work? Also, you say that doctors don't care about money they just care about what they do because they like it? Seriously man, where are you getting these ideals? It's not realistic in any sense of the word.
Groucho Marx is still the author of my favorite quote,or should I say philosophy."I would never join anything that would have me as a member."Which came in handy growing up in the Sixties and Seventies.

Yeah because the Dems haven't been doing the exact same thing for the last eight years. Example court nominees which by constitution doesn''t even require congressional approval but only Congressional vetting and a large number of court benches are vacant because the Dems refused to vote on them or vett them through.
Ah yes, the tune of the GOteaParty Teahadists (including the whiners who posted here).

Don't know the name of it then. Workers were never treated well. Unless you count Western Europe as communist.
People become what they become because they like to do it. No one wants to make hamburgers at mcdonalds all their life.
No one can live off the system if they don't work, unless there is a good reason they can't get a job. (I.e., elderly or disabled)

It was probably sung and recorded in 1931, since the film in which it appears ("Horse Feathers") was released in 1932.
