1. One thing a lot of people don't know
about FDR is he WAS RICH. And he still stood up the working poor and the needy. He did not try to use the presidency to gain money for himself. He did not use the presidency to build up the corporations, he always first did for the people.

Look at all the rich in congress today, mostly republicans, who cut and slash and law and benefit for the working class. And look at while FDR was trying to contain Hitler and his helpers, bush's grandfather was making money hand over fist for the enemy. He got so bad raising money for Halter's killing machine they confiscated his bank. And he was so enraged he tried to overthrow this government. You never ever hear any of that in the bush legacy do you...

And ever since bush stole office he has tried to do away with any program that the Democrats have initiated to help the working class. The last agency left is social security and they are messing their pants to try to break it up.
