It’s interesting to see the author use the lyrics to Big Rock Candy Mountain. Paraphrasing: Where they hung the jerk that invented work; Alcohol flows freely; The handouts grow on bushes; You can just walk right out of the jails. Not that the rest of the lyrics aren’t sweet. But to me honest work is an elevating endeavor. Handouts are necessary but, like the fighter Corbet, only a last resort to a proud man. The jails of course are evil, not the criminals.
Of course Mr. Cox will call me a cruel Republican. But he paints the "evil" Republicans with one brush. No black and white, all evil.
My parents were immigrants from Russia. They worked hard and struggled plenty. I grew up with the ethic of hard work, honesty, respect and LOVE OF MY FELLOW MAN.
Mr. Cox is an idealogue. All black, no black-and-white. All elements of society can have these beliefs: Republicans and Democrats, Blacks and Whites; Men and Women.
When Mr. Cox can finally see people as individuals then society may progress. It’s not evil Republicans that we should fear. It’s evil individuals.
