The Gangs of New York NONFICTION by Herbert Asbury...the movie yes was fiction but the backdrop of racial tension, draft riots, etc was 100% true.

Pork barrel spending and tax cuts to win over businesses happen all the time and have happened all the time...it's nothing new Trainer hell there is pork in the bailout bill they just passed. And please keep it up with the name calling I do appreciate it...almost as much as I appreciate people complaining about their lives and blaming everyone else for their standing in life.
