Upton Sinclair's book "The Jungle" bit him in the ass

from To Hear Me Tell It · host Jerry

Send us Fan MailToday's Podcast is a brief glimpse of how a devout Socialist back in the early 1900's and attempted to "again" promote Communism over our Constitutional Republic.  Yes sir, a Columbia University leftist graduate spent his entire life trying to poison a free people's Republic.Long story short, he writes a best selling novel titled "The Jungle," which is nothing but a fictious book loaded with lies about working conditions grossly over-exaggerated in hopes to gain or win sympathy but instead gets the attention of the US Government.  You see this industry already had Federal, and State Inspectors, but his little seven weeks of working undercover, didn't share that part, thus sparked a public outrage of said conditions, process meats sales went to the floor, and public confidence needed to be restored, thus new Federal Regulations were put in to Act, and the rest is history.
