Titus when Joe's friends and relatives use their savings to help him buy tools and property they were capitalist don't flush folks it's nothing to be ashamed now naturally Joe needed some help so he hired Willie Lumpkin who was out of work anyway and before long will they had the know-how and became skilled labor because capital management and labor worked together Joe's ideas grew it grew when did things even he never dreamed of today the automobile industry provides millions of jobs have never existed before and remember this is a story of only one industry there are thousands more scattered all over the United States whose history of development is pretty much the same we've built a country under the American system that sends more young people a high school and college than all the rest the world combined why even in the depression our equations bought more food clothing travel and entertainment than the wages of any other people in the world our country as a national income equal to the total national income of any other six nation world with only 7% of the earth we try out any percent of the world's automobiles that's just a cent all of the things the capitalistic system has given us in only 160 years before signing up you boys ought to try a little taste of dr. isms formula to see what you get in exchange for your freedom oh yeah try it [Music] you can't do this to me I'll strike the state forbidden strikes we're over Union is about this is the Union welcome to our ranks number 13 13 I'll take this case to the Supreme Court this date is the Supreme Court our decision is as follows [Music] no more private property no more you there the fireman put a stop to this farmers don't vote anymore what did I do perceive next year you won't have to worry about next year the state will do your planning from now on everything everything is fine everything is fine everything is fine everything is fine when anybody preaches disunity tries to Pit one of us against the other through class warfare race hatred or religious intolerance you know that person seeks to rob us of our freedom and destroy our very lives we know what to do alone and now that we know women's please fathers [Music] working together to produce an ever greater abundance of material and spiritual values for all that is the secret of American prosperity this cartoon is so clear and so insightful it's hard to believe it was fifty years ago I guess freedom was a lot more popular 50 years ago than it is today you know we bought into the snake oil salesman way too many times this Terran Lupo signing off good hunting
