check it, man....

The landmark political fact of our time is the replacement of our middle-class republic by a plutocracy. If some candidate has a scheme to reverse this trend, they've got my vote, whether they prefer Courvoisier or beer bongs spiked with cough syrup. I don't care whether they enjoy my books, or would rather have every scrap of paper bearing my writing loaded into a C-47 and dumped into Lake Michigan. If it will help restore the land of relative equality I was born in, I'll fly the plane myself.

not that i am, but if i were revising the manifesto, and looking for text to add, and i'm not mind you, but in a purely hypothetical sense, i would add the above text without hesitation.  similarly, in a purely theoretical framework, and again, not that i am, but if i were going to make a comment about the current political horserace that's going on, and i'm not mind you, but in a purely hypothetical sense, it would repeat the last paragraph of the piece above, word for word. 

and that's saying something because i'm not usually all about biting other people's rhymes.
