Will Rogers On the Radio - Unemployment

[joeyess]

Conservatives and plutocrats have made it a generational affair to reverse the advances made in the name of working people in this country. We've come full circle from Gilded Age to Gilded Age. There are very few elected representatives in congress that understand this. Vote Progressive. And to you Paulbots out there, he ain't one of them.

In this day, it is really difficult --- if not fully impossible --- to fully describe what a power the quarter-Cherokee, one-time cowboy from Oklahoma was from just before World War I until his death in an Alaskan air crash (with famed pilot Wiley Post) in 1935. He was a star of stage, radio and film and the short daily column --- Will Rogers Says" he wrote was run on the front page of most of America's daily newspapers, large and small.

Jct: Yes, the malfunction in the money system needs fixing. 80 years later, we're building the UNILETS Time Standard of Money where everyone's basic volunteer time is the collateral for their sociable interest-free credits. I'm already running my own P2P Timebank account at my facebook info page for 12 years. Find UNISET UNILETS for instructions on how you can timetrade too. In 1999, I paid for 39/40 nights in Europe with a 5-Hour IOU for a night back in Canada.

Thank you all for the positive feedback to this positive American leader and entertainer. I'd hoped that by this time (nearly 2 years after posting the video) that we wouldn't have so much unemployment remaining. But we do. Improvement is slow but steady. Keep being positive.

who would have thought that this 1931 broadcast would have the same meaning today as it did yesterday.

He was a truly great American. We have replaced our community of Americans with the materialism of the atheist. Look at all people want, what they own. So few look to see who someone is preferring to see what someone is. They miss humanity for the possessions that come to merely posses them instead.

I will vote for you Mr. Rogers if run for the Presidency!

[GooglFascists]

@chichopluma There's a simple, honest man running for President today whom of

course is IGNORED by the elitist Mainstream Media. His name is Ron Paul. Raised

on a dairy farm in Pennsylvania, he worked his way through college to become a

medical doctor. He served in the Air Force 4 years as a Flight Surgeon, started his

own practice as a OB, (delivered over 4,000 babies), then ran for Congress. He has

been elected 5 times because of his HONESTY. Let us make Ron Paul our next

President!

@GooglFascists and he's a lying fascist.

[HNK222]

@GooglFascists How do people like you listen to Will Rogers and come to the insane conclusion he's saying what Ron Paul is saying? As with Republicans who call themselves "Christian" while adhering to NONE of Christianity's tenets, Ron Paul is the polar OPPOSITE of Will Rogers ideologically!

It's not about being "raised on a dairy farm" or any other cornpone bullshit - Ron Paul is AGAINST the very safety net programs Will Rogers was championing like Social Security & Unemployment Insurance!

[Niederhoffer716]

right on Will. 

[mrjamiehorn]

I wish Are great leader Obama would listen to this.!!!

[woodsprout]

He speaks the truth.

Thanks Will! You're still with us.
