Did you hear the story that the Wizard of Oz was actually written as an expose on the bankers who were intent on stealing the USA's gold...(accomplished in 1930)?  -------- 
 I was told that OZ refers to the weight of gold 
 "follow the yellow brick road" was a reference to Gold Bullion 
 The man behind the curtain, was the evil bankers planning their theft/heist 
 The munchkins = We the people 
 Wicked Witch of the West = The President - by making gold possession illegal 
 Flying Monkeys - IRS Agents 
 RED Shoes - blood that must be shed to regain freedom, and return HOME 
 There may be more...but I just heard about it.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, published May, 1900. William McKinley was President. There was no IRS. I don't recall that one of his policies was making gold illegal (in fact he reintroduced the gold standard), but again this is Krazy Lox so what does that matter?
