Remember the old Superman T.V. series where Perry White, editor of the Daily Planet, would see some crazy situation and exclaim " Great Caesars Ghost?" If Perry were around today and saw what was going on, he would probably stroke out and die. A new super villain now threatens America. He is the infamous Grasping Greed. To him and his evil legions the only thing that matters is money. People are just collateral damage to be disregarded when acquiring wealth from them. People don't matter. He broadcasts a hypnotic siren call from his own propaganda media stations. This form of mesmerism transforms poor and middle class angry white people into rabidly voting against their own self interests. His lieutenants take over state governments with the pledge of jobs jobs jobs and then pass laws restricting unions,complicating voter access, and de-funding women's health care. Yes, Grasping Greed is part dragon guarding his treasure hoard, part angry white male, part religious fanatic, and totally devoid of compassion. Superman where are you we need you.
