Class warfare We’ve taken In Tucker County for centuries there grew a white oak. Its girth reached whatever in feet it takes to encompass a diameter of 13 feet. In 1913 this mir- acle of nature, more wonderful than a cathedral or a trade tower, was felled by lean mountaineers with axes and crosscut saws. The tree produced enough lumber to fi ll a train. The oak lumber left the state and became the fl oors and doors of some palatial residence far away from Tucker County. Those lean mountaineers received for their labor only enough wages to keep their skinny the cost out of bodies alive. And all this state had left of the tree was the stump and brush piles and the absence of a forest giant that would take half a millennium to replace. The profi ts left the state with the lumber. And the story is similar for coal and coal miners, except that after years of unconscionable exploitation of miners by northern capitalists, miners orga- nized a union; and with John L. Lewis’ leadership and FDR’s blessing, the union forced capital to pay a decent wage and generally give miners benefi ts switching. that decency demanded. But capitalists had the last word. They took labor’s value that they ex- propriated —that is, that value created by laborers that should have gone to them but that capitalists pocketed — and bought machinery with that surplus Choose from a selection of free phones profi t. The upshot was that the value labor was denied bought the machines that superannuated labor and reduced labor’s ranks from 125,000 miners to and switch without any activation fee. 12,000 miners who, with machines titled to capitalists, produce as much coal as the 125,000. Just one more reason U.S. Cellular® has The fate of miners has become the fate of many employees. Except that in- stead of mechanizing their production some capitalists have outsourced their production; that is, they have set up assembly lines in far off places to pro- the happiest customers in wireless. duce products at a fraction of what the cost would have been had the work re- mained here and labor had been paid going wages. The result of mechaniza- tion and outsourcing is that this nation is creating great wealth but that wealth is accruing in the hands and accounts of fewer and fewer while the many have fewer jobs and less money to purchase all the products that mechanization and outsourcing are producing. Soon the credit-card economy’s bubble will burst; and then with the majority in bankruptcy and the minority wealthy as Croesus, class warfare will begin in earnest. Not content with the profi ts of mechanization and outsourcing, capitalists have hired lobbyists to induce politicians to exempt all income but wages and salaries from taxation. This means that dividends, interest, and capital gains will be tax free. Only salaries and wages will be taxed. In addition, they have Find the phone lobbied enough conservatives to pass a bill exempting estates from taxes, the that’s right for you. result of which is that the rich will gain most of their wealth from tax-free dividends, interest and capital gains and die richer than rich and leave their free wealth to their heirs untaxed. And the next generation of wealthy will do like- wise ad infi nitum. The culmination of this exploitation of labor, outsourcing of jobs, taxing only wages and salaries is that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and worse the middle class falls into the poor class; and when the foregoing hap- pens history tells us there will be no civil peace only class warfare and perpet- ual chaos followed by martial law and eventually a coup d’etat and military dictatorship. Then Jefferson’s high hopes for this nation will dissolve into a banana republic. When most consumer goods are produced by the labor of robots and ma- chines titled to capitalists and other work is outsourced to cheap labor; when only wages and salaries are taxed and most of the rich’s income is untaxed and passed at death to heirs untaxed; when the divide between rich and poor widens with each generation, and when capital becomes more and more con- centrated in the hands of a few wealthy and the numbers of proletarians in- crease, who is going to buy the plethora of goods and with what?

This research project is sponsored by the A Century of Traveling with Lanky - Photographs and Memories will make the perfect Christmas gift. A new book from NIH and the NIDCR and is being conducted by the West Virginia University School of Mark Romano! Lanky received his high school diploma when he was 96 years old. Yet, he was the town historian, mayor four Dentistry. Principal Investigator Dr. Richard Crout, DMD, Ph.D., MS, Associate Dean for times, and he was considered by most as a highly intelligent man who most everyone went to when they needed help. Research. WVU IRB approval is on file. For seven years, I interviewed Lanky Henderson, a native of Cowen WV, who lived from 1903 to 2003. He told astounding stories about his boyhood, his many occupations, his adult experiences, and the anecdotal life of the people in a small town for almost a century. A Century of Traveling with Lanky Photographs and Memories Lanky’s memory and experiences tell and show life at a simpler time. Those who wondered what it was like to live through wars, depressions, logging, steam engines, and small town America from 1903-2003 will enjoy this informative book. The reader will fall in love with Lanky and the way he weaves his stories. Sometimes they are sad, sometimes they are funny, sometimes the stories surprise or inspire, but they always leave the reader wanting more. Lanky grew up when people were self-sufficient and living during this time period was never about money, but love of family. They were entertained with books, radio and families were strong and close. Today, we are in tough times again and people want to see how we survived in trying times of the past. They will get involved with the stories and photographs of others Lanky knew, as they also tell stories about life in the 20 th century. Many of the photos have not been seen for half a century, while others are new within the last few years. The stories are mostly about Webster and Nicholas Counties.
