1000%. America is a nation of temporarily embarrassed millionaires #HoratioAlger

Know those #Rags2Riches' #AmericanDream- stories written by #HoratioAlger? Street urchin meets wealthy older man & succeeds by hard work & virtue?

Actually, 1st Unitarian Parish of Brewster, Mass kicked Alger out of his job as a minister for #sexual misconduct with #boys. Look it up. #Pedo

Don't they have #HoratioAlger, like in US History?

The little guy who always finds success through hard work, bravery, and luck. Oh, wow😮!

They always included the opportunities in America. Like #Warhol and pioneers.

Now, he's taking away the bad stuff. #Internment. #McCarthyism.

DYK #HoratioAlger (d.1899) fled Cape Cod? Charged by fellow clergy of having #QueerSex w/boys, he ran to NYC & became America’s most popular writer: 100+ novels about poor boys making good by catching the eye of charitable older men. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com #HistSex #QueerHistory
