Er, sorry dude, but those "benefits" of hydroelectric dams were built on the BACKS of millions of Americans stuck in poverty at the time. Some benefit.

Sounds like you resent the nation presenting the opportunity to perform "an honest day's work for an honest day's pay."

Guess you'd prefer the soup-kitchen & bread-line handouts that were the alternative back then.

You don't get it. Your "honest day's work" was pure WELFARE, stolen from those who actually DID earn a living, and the government programs made the soup kitchen lines longer and ensured they would never go away. You want YOUR welfare on the backs of working people. But it ain't happenin' bud. Go back to the Young Socialists of America.
