Salon: The “original sin” of the Southern political class is cheap, powerless labor

[HiPointDem]

11. child labor wasn't any better in the us than in england, and everything i wrote is true.

there is no difference between the northern and southern systems. both were founded on slavery.

fdr's ancestors in new york used slaves in their sugar business and had investments in slave sugar in the caribbean.

ancestors of both the R & D candidate in the 2004 election profited from slavery.

all the major banks & insurance companies made their nut on slavery. quakers were some of the big slave traders in the early days of the trade. rhode island ships were some of the most important in the slave trade.

the lowell textile mills & lowell massachussets were founded on slavery and opium profits. george bush's ancestors had a stake in both northern textile mills and savannah cotton trading -- synergy!!

john kerry's ancestors traded slaves before they traded opium and used the profits to fund their investments in textile mills, railroads and more.

scratch a capitalist, you'll find slavery or semi-slavery.
