Scrooge McDuck's political values (...my take, anyway!)

Just read "Time of Reckoning", written by Andreas Phil and drawn by Massimo Fecchi, by way of a newly-acquried copy of Gemstone's Donald Duck Adventures #1 (Jully 2003)

The scenario: Scrooge has been teleported to a dystopian future, where Duckburg has fallen under the tyranny of an artificial intelligence. Scrooge has found refuge with the surviving "natural-born duck" resistance fighters. For a particular reason, the following exchange, on page 17, jumped out at me:

___________

I.D. (the enigmatic resistance leader): "Ego abolished all forms of currency, replacing them with credit cards and electronic banking. As a symbol of the new order, he destroyed all your bills and coins!

Scrooge: "I'll turn that chip-head into a waffled iron for this!"

I.D.: "You see, we have the same goal -- the return of cold, hard cash to Duckburg!"

___________
...well, now more than ever, I'm convinced that Scrooge would be inclined to voting for Ron Paul!  :D  ;)


 




(And I can see Scrooge as a former Rush Limbaugh listener, until it was obvious that Rush had become an entirely compromised, yet shameless party shill, despite the fact that "both" of the establishment parties are beholden to the same bailed-out, "too-big-to-fail" banks*. Thus, naturally, Scrooge now tunes in to hear the broadcasts of Alex Jones instead.)  :D  ;)

* (Those crooked, corrupt, untouchable international banks, with their Mafia-like operating practices, are, of course, owned by Rockerduck! Hehehe!)
