The American
Pie of the Thirty-seventh Congress
Whereby at the height of the
Civil War, government officials gave away to themselves millions of acres of
public lands to own and control forever, which lands in turn were used to pile
on tariffs and fees upon independent producers, particularly farmers, and to
create conditions of ongoing financial instability, failure, and fraud, resulting
in perpetual government subsidization and bail-outs
of a private corporation.
