Marxists began to infiltrate
the US government in 1901 and began to prepare the road ahead with “big
socialist government”. The Marxists targeted the wealthy families who had led
the US through the Industrial Revolution.
Theodore Roosevelt (R) was the
US President from 1901 to 1909. He was the Vice President and succeeded William
McKinley ® who was assassinated in 1901.
Roosevelt implemented his
“Square Deal” regulatory, environmental and food safety policies. He supported
American Colonialism and the US takeover of the Philippines in 1898 and the
takeover of Cuba in the Spanish American War and he built the Panama Canal.
In 1902, he used the Sherman
Anti-Trust Act of 1890 to break up the Railroad monopoly JP Morgan formed to
enable railroads to pay for their expansion debts. This ushered in the creation
of “public companies”. This warned the private sector to be wary of government
takeovers and abuse.
Roosevelt created the Commerce
Department in 1903 to investigate “monopolies” in the US.
In 1903 Roosevelt took over
building the Panama Canal and finished it in 1914. This was a good project that
allowed a shorter shipping route from the Pacific to the Atlantic Oceans.
He passed the Pure Food and
Drug Act in 1906. The meat inspection act of 1906. The Federal employers’
liability act of 1908 and the Federal employee’s compensation act of 1908.
These laws were necessary.
Theodore Roosevelt created the United
States Forest Service, established 150 national forests, 51 federal bird
reserves, 4 national game preserves, 5 national parks, and 18 national
monuments by enabling the 1906 American Antiquities Act. These
laws were not necessary and played into Marxist hands to diminish private land
ownership by the private sector. Today the US government owns 30% of the US
land mass and does a rotten job of taking care of it.
In 1901 the US had 231,000
federal employees. By 2002, the US had 1,818,000 Executive Branch employees.

In 2023, there were 2.95
million employees in the US Agencies of the Federal Workforce.

In the 1800s, the US had used
manual labor to build railroads, roads, harbors and canals allow for faster
movement of goods by rail and ship. The manual labor was performed by
immigrants wanting to escape Europe. Life expectancy in 1850 was age 38. Deaths
and injuries on labor crews were routine.
The invention of the steam engine had allowed for railroads to develop
and factories to be built in big cities. As US citizens moved to big cities,
water-born diseases increased because sewage was being dumped back into rivers.
River water was the drinking water.
Water born diseases in 1850 included smallpox,
malaria, viral influenza, yellow fever, measles, typhus, bubonic plague,
typhoid fever, cholera, and pertussis (whooping cough). The laboring class as an oppressed group was
developing for the Marxists.
Accident
insurance was first offered in the United States by the Franklin Health
Assurance Company of Massachusetts. This firm, founded in 1850, offered
insurance against injuries arising from railroad and steamboat accidents. Sixty
organizations were offering accident insurance in the US by 1866, but the
industry consolidated rapidly soon thereafter. While there were earlier
experiments, sickness coverage in the US effectively dates from 1890. The first
employer-sponsored group disability policy was issued in 1911, but this plan's primary
purpose was replacing wages lost because the worker was unable to work, not
medical expenses.

The Labor Unions were
activated in the 1880s to use their “political advantage” to gain voter
sympathy and become our first group of “oppressed victims”. Industry “titans”
had been busy competing with each other and delivering technological
breakthroughs to invent all the home conveniences we enjoy in the US today. The
prevailing management strategy was viewed as “top-down”. Employees were
expected to follow orders from their supervisors, managers and company owners.
Owners retained control of the money and they spent it on innovation and
project completion. They thought, if employees were unhappy, they were free to
learn new skills and quit to take jobs they were happier with. This was a
reasonable conclusion, but the owners failed to recognize that they also needed
to develop teamwork to allow motivation to occur. The myth of an oppressed
laboring class continued with animosity toward business owners and sympathy for
laborers losses throughout the 1800s.
In the 1900s, the inventions
of the 1850s gave US workers the advantages of electricity, clean water, less
water-born illness, refrigeration, telephones, radios, kitchen appliances, more
affordable automobiles, stronger bridges for trains and cars, gasoline and
indoor plumbing. But Marxists continued
to advance with socialist Federal Policies. They were able to punish the
industry titans in 1913 by breaking up their “monopolies”.
Marxists were victorious as US
Federal Government power surpassed Private Sector power.
In 1913, Woodrow Wilson (D)
was elected President and served until 1921.
Wilson approved the 16th
Amendment passed by Congress in 1909 and ratified by the States in 1913 to
establish a permanent income tax on families and corporations.
Wilson approved the 17th
Amendment passed by Congress in 1912 and ratified by the States in 1913 to
elect US Senators by popular vote.
Wilson approved the Federal Reserve Act in 1913 to create the Federal Reserve System. Congress passed the Federal Reserve
Act to delegate its power to coin money. This resulted in massive inflation
from 1913 to 2024.
Wilson approved the 19th
Amendment passed by Congress in 1919 and ratified by the States in 1920
allowing Women to vote.
Wilson created the National
Park Service in 1916. Expanding on Theodore Roosevelt’s National Forest
Service. Today the US Department of Interior manages 30% of the US land mass
and does a rotten job of it.
In 1929, the stock market
crashed and the Great Depression began as US companies laid off workers . In 1930, the US drought created the “Dust
Bowl”. US unemployment reached 25%. The US economy recovered in 1941 with the
beginning of World War 2.
In
May 1932, 25,000 jobless WWI veterans organized a
group called the “Bonus Expeditionary Forces” (BEF) to march
on Washington, DC. Suffering and
desperate, the BEF's goal was to get the bonus payment now, when they really
needed the money. Congress did not grant the bonuses and all were voted
out-of-office in 1932.
Marxists
were victorious with the election of Franklin D Roosevelt in 1933. He began
growing the US government beyond their expectations. Ending the Great
Depression that lasted from 1929 to 1939 was Roosevelt’s goal, but it took
World War II to end it.
Franklin D Roosevelt (D)
became President in 1933 and served 3 terms until his death in 1945. The New
Deal included the creation of jobs through public works, the creation of Social
Security, support for labor unions and the creation of all the Federal Agencies
we have today. In 1941, Roosevelt led the strategy that allowed us to win World
War II.

Harry S Truman (D) became
President in 1945 and served 2 terms until 1953. He ordered dropping the Atomic
Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end World War II. Truman implemented the
Marshall Plan to restore post-war Europe and Japan Truman led the strategy that allowed a
stalemate of the Korean War.
Dwight D Eisenhauer (R) became
President in 1953 and served 2 terms until 1961. He led the US through 8 years
of peace and prosperity. The U.S. Supreme Court issued its
historic Brown vs. Board of Education of
Topeka, Kansas, 347 U.S. 483, on May
17, 1954. Tied to the 14th
Amendment, the decision declared all laws establishing segregated schools to be
unconstitutional, and it called for the desegregation of all schools throughout
the nation.
John F Kennedy (D) became
President in 1961 and served from January 1961 to November 1963 and was
assassinated. He cut taxes, objected to expanding the Vietnam War, began eradicating the US Mafia,
supported Civil Rights, ended the Cuba Missile crisis and created the US Space
Program.
Lyndon B Johnson (D) became
President in 1963 and served from November 1963 until January 1969. In 1965 he

Lyndon B. Johnson issued Executive Order 11246, prohibiting employment
discrimination based on race, color, religion, and national origin by those
organizations receiving federal contracts and subcontracts and created the
OFCCP. He led the strategy that doomed the outcome of the Vietnam War and
created the inflation of the 1970s and 1980s that led to 18% mortgage rates in
1983.
Richard M Nixon (R) became
President in 1969 and served 2 terms until 1974. In 1972 he visited China and
began the trade relationship that would lead to the off-shoring of US
manufacturing. Nixon abandoned the Gold Standard.
Nixon resigned in 1974 and was replaced by Vice President Gerald Ford.
Gerald Ford became (R)
President in 1974 and served 1 term until 1977. In 1974, inflation was rising
at 12.2% in 1976 inflation was 4.6%. From 1975 to 1976 employment grew from
84.1 million to 87.9 million. Unemployment decreased from 8.9% to 7.8%. Housing
starts rose by 38%. US GNP rise by 10%. Per Capita GDP rose 5%. Farm income
rose to $26 billion and farm exports rose to $22 billion. Crime was cut by 75%.
Defense spending increased to restore the military. Foreign relations with
allies improved. Peace and prosperity were assured.

Jimmy Carter (D) became
President in 1977 and served 1 term until 1980.
In
1979 the U.S. and China reestablished diplomatic relations and signed a
bilateral trade agreement. This gave a start to a rapid growth of trade between
the two nations: from $4 billion (exports and imports) that year to over $600
billion in 2017. In 1979, Iran seized
the US Embassy and held US hostages. Carter ordered a rescue that failed
because of faulty equipment.
Ronald Reagan (R) became
President in 1980 and served 2 terms until 1988. Reagan cut the top marginal
tax rate from 73% to 28%. This unleashed the US economy to grow for the next 25
years. He increased defense spending and won the Cold War. He knew the USSR was
broke. The USSR dissolved itself in 1989, outlawed the Communist Party and
became the Russian Republic.
George W Bush (R) became
President in 1988 and served 1 term until 1992. He signed on to UN Agenda 21 in
1989 and passed every dumb bill Ted Kennedy sponsored and damaged his
Republican support. He is credited for winning
the Gulf War in 1990, by forming a coalition to remove Iraq from Kwait. His
defeat in 1992 was caused by the 1992 Recession and Ross Perot’s third-party
campaign that drew Republican voters. He became the first RINO.

Recession with stagflation where wages didn’t increase, but federal spending
soared. He weaponized the Federal Government against the American citizens and
completed the Deep State. He was raised as a Muslim Communist and represented a
mile-stone for the Marxist plan. He squandered $10 trillion on the Global
Warming/Climate Change Hoax by funding failed solar and wind projects and
terrorized US citizens with the EPA.

Comments
We have had a long history of
being duped by the propaganda that has seeped into US history and resulted in
creating future events that are dangerous and costly. We have had Democrat and
Republican leaders lead us to folly.
We have had a few who led us
away from folly. We need more of thoughtful leaders who demonstrate good
judgment. US voters need to review the facts I have outlined above and vote to
restore our economy.
