O Brother Where Art Thou? character
Big Dan had it right: "It's all about
the money boys." Poor, desperate people
make good cheap labor. The issue is always
framed as an us against them, with them
being poor or black or foreign. What does
it say on the Statue of Liberty? "Give us
your tired, your poor, your huddled masses
yearning to be free." This was our
invitation to the world, in a time before
population explosion. As long as those
in the middle and at the bottom of the economic
strata cake turn their eyes upon each other
as the enemy, those at the top of the cake will
keep eating all of the icing. Who cares about
Rivera of O'Reilly...they're just bricks in
the wall, pawns in the game.
