Kurt Vonnegut:
"Jesus used to be so merciful and loving of the poor. But now he’s a Republican."

“We have no Democratic Party. It’s financed by the same millionaires and billionaires as the Republicans. "

“We have people in this country who are richer than whole countries,” he says. “They run everything."

“The only difference between Bush and Hitler,” Vonnegut adds, “is that Hitler was elected.”

“I’m lucky enough to have known a great president, one who really cared about ALL the people, rich and poor. That was Franklin D. Roosevelt. He was rich himself, and his class considered him a traitor.

“I’m trying to write a novel about the end of the world. But the world is really ending! It’s becoming more and more uninhabitable because of our addiction to oil.
“Bush used that line recently,” Vonnegut adds. “I should sue him for plagiarism.”
Love him. His books are good too.
