Upton Sinclair was a muckraker and a bloody SOCIALIST."THE JUNGLE" et al, are FICTION and exaggerated,hyperbolic fiction at that.

The PURE FOOD AND DRUG LAWS are far more relevant, as to the quality of the food we eat, than any works of fiction.

Teddy Roosevelt,the "TRUST BUSTER",went after monopolies,but he didn't really do anything to keep workers from serfdom.

Facts matter, history shouldn't be revised by anyone,and less emotion and more facts would help your position. Too bad that you haven't managed to employ that tact.

754 - "The PURE FOOD AND DRUG LAWS are far more relevant, as to the quality of the food we eat, than any works of fiction."

And just how do you think those laws got passed? Upton Sinclair.

"Teddy Roosevelt,the "TRUST BUSTER",went after monopolies,but he didn't really do anything to keep workers from serfdom."

He sure did, he reigned in Rockefeller and the other monopolists, who would have had everyone in serfdom to their corporate monopolies.

yawn - as another said.
