Just for fun, don't follow the links, yet. Time Magazine had a cover story that asked "Is the U.S. Going Broke?" The anti-war movement was gaining strength in the United States. And Republicans didn't like veterans for peace, much. There were people who believed crap like this:
Skepticism and cynicism are widespread in America. The people are skeptical of platforms filled with political platitudes—of promises made by opportunistic politicians.
The people are cynical about the idea that a rosy future is just around the corner.
And is it any wonder that the people are skeptical and cynical of the whole political process?
Our traditions, our history, our Constitution, our lives, all say that America belongs to its people.
But the people no longer believe it.
They feel that the government is run for the privileged few rather than for the many-and they are right. (all emphasis mine)
Guess who they were?
