Jokes the guy making sweeping statements about all government everywhere. Okay guy. Keep pretending that you are being persecuted for your noble stance against entrenched liberal zealots.

According to Kaufman, the document – which has never been published before – showed that “Guthrie’s two-year tenancy in one of Fred Trump’s buildings and his relationship with the real estate mogul of New York’s outer boroughs produced some of Guthrie’s most bitter writings.” Specifically, he wrote about the postwar housing haven Trump built – principally for whites. Guthrie discovered about a year into his lease that Fred Trump was all too willing to embrace the color line in Beach Haven. This discovery fueled lyrics in Guthrie’s songs, such as “Racial Hate at Beach Haven,” “Beach Haven Race Hate,” and “Beach Haven Ain’t My Home:”

We are all familiar with the expression “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” Trump senior was investigated by a U.S. Senate committee in 1954 for profiteering off of public contracts, not the least of which was overestimating his Beach Haven building charges to the tune of $3.7 million. Both Donald and Fred Trump were investigated in 1973 and 1978 by the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Justice Department – the major charge was “racially discriminatory conduct by Trump agents had created a substantial impediment to the full enjoyment of equal opportunity.”

Evidence of the Trumps’ discriminatory conduct came from Trump employees. In 1979, Village Voice reporter Wayne Barrett wrote of Fred and Donald Trump’s real empire:

“According to court records, four superintendents or rental agents confirmed that applications sent to the central [Trump] office for acceptance or rejection were coded by race. Three doormen were told to discourage blacks who came seeking apartments when the manager was out, either by claiming no vacancies or hiking up the rents. A super said he was instructed to send black applicants to the central office but to accept white applications on site. Another rental agent said that Fred Trump had instructed him not to rent to blacks. Further, the agent said Trump wanted to decrease the number of black tenants already in the development by encouraging them to locate housing elsewhere.”

If you're wondering what's happened, as the wise man said, "follow the money", dummies.

why is every also ran Republican politician stopping by your office lately? I think you are in Iowa? but I guess your boss is a big Republican donor if he's getting these guys.

We're in the middle of nowhere so the big time guys have no real interest/need to campaign here.

And you'd be wrong about the donor part: we've invited every candidate from both parties to stop in.

MoBettle wrote:Well his impact on the economy would be minimal so it'd be nice to hear him talk more about the stuff that the executive actually has control over if his campaign has evolved from one that's just bringing up issues to actually trying to win this thing.

Also the way he talks about the economic changes is awkward and occasionally makes him look like he doesn't really understand what his role would be. "Turning for-profit credit rating agencies into non-profit institutions" for example. That's just not something that we can do, politically, logistically or (probably) constitutionally. And yeah, he might actually mean "make an alternative credit rating agency that is non-profit/public and provide incentives to companies to only use that agency" but when he says stuff like that it really gets me worried. If he's gonna be a one trick pony, his one trick should be rock solid.
