Le Fier Batard

This is a fictional description of a great secret weapon by the oss, cia, and fbi to prevent the russians in 1946 from destroying manufacturing in the united states. It was a conspiracy to convince the african-americans from the south to migrate to the big cities of the north and thus force the manufacturing companies to leave the cities and re-locate in the suburbs. twenty seven years later, in 1973, the opec states raised the price of oil and sucked up between $250 billion and $750 billion dollars a year out of the u. s. economy. a young politician, greg james (who named himself ‘the proud bastard’) figures out how to recover most of this money and simultaneously fix the debt problem that is plaguing the u.s.. all he has to do is become president of the u.s. the tea party movements in this country in 1773 and 2010, are both warnings of impending revolution! The tea party movements are really the taxpayers of the country showing they are getting fed up with footing the bills of this working capital starved country, without their having any say about how their taxes are spent. the big city dwellers are really the taxreceivers of the country. The story shows how both the taxpayers and the taxreceivers can be satisfied by a simple application of old fashioned ‘yankee ingenuity!’
