I didn’t mention it, because I didn’t ...Old Rebel,<br /><br />I didn’t mention it, because I didn’t know it!<br /><br />I am constantly finding new proof that the Kings are the greediest family in America, and that includes the late widow King. <br /><br />Never in my life have I heard of a gang that, whenever a public institution or agency wants to honor their head, demands to be paid a fortune. Want his papers? Pay us millions! Want a memorial center? Pay us millions! Want a statue? Pay us millions! (Alright, they “settled” for a measly $800,000.)<br /><br />In the past, ex-presidents <i>donated</i> their papers to collections, and heroes’ descendants were honored that their ancestors were memorialized. It would never have crossed anyone’s mind to shake down the taxpayers.<br /><br />I guarantee you that most taxpayers in this country have no idea that they paid the Kings $800,000 for this monument to greed, let alone that they have paid, and continue to pay, millions to this crew of shakedown artists.<br /><br />The Kings believe that the taxpayers “owe” them this—where have I heard that before?—for King’s “sacrifice.” First of all, hundreds of thousands of American men have made real sacrifices for this country, in uniform, without their families going welfare on us. Of equal importance is that King made <i>no sacrifice</i> on behalf of this country; rather, he dedicated his life to destroying it. And he did a pretty good job.Nicholashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12372393717833610657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24200494.post-72104272472515950542011-08-18T16:12:07.488-04:002011-08-18T16:12:07.488-04:00You forgot to mention that the King family charged...You forgot to mention that the King family charged $800,000 for the use of MLK's image and quotes.Old Rebelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11146916266682461688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24200494.post-33774093621486866082011-08-18T10:09:53.916-04:002011-08-18T10:09:53.916-04:00That's a mighty white looking statue.That's a mighty white looking statue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24200494.post-11164061422815827212011-08-18T08:53:35.933-04:002011-08-18T08:53:35.933-04:00Well, Nicholas, he's only been dead for 43 yea...Well, Nicholas, he's only been dead for 43 years.
