President Bush on the Rioting
Eleven years of Reagan-Bush racist trickle-down economic policies coupled with the unjust verdict results in the rage of Los Angeles. The Republicans and the rich greedy elites have kept people in poverty for too long. The looters included mothers with babes in arms stealing food and diapers. According to any ethical theory this is just. The only difference between the rich stealing from the poor and the poor stealing from the rich is that the latter do it in public and the former do it in the privacy of their boardrooms.
