Just an idea, but why don't you..........

Not the only thing he said, dim-wit.
Have your kids read the rest of it to ya...
"Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. Capital has its rights, which are as worthy of protection as any other rights. Nor is it denied that there is, and probably always will be, a relation between labor and capital producing mutual benefits. The error is in assuming that the whole labor of community exists within that relation. A few men own capital, and that few avoid labor themselves, and with their capital hire or buy another few to labor for them. A large majority belong to neither class--neither work for others nor have others working for them. In most of the Southern States a majority of the whole people of all colors are neither slaves nor masters, while in the Northern a large majority are neither hirers nor hired. Men, with their families--wives, sons, and daughters,--work for themselves on their farms, in their houses, and in their shops, taking the whole product to themselves, and asking no favors of capital on the one hand nor of hired laborers or slaves on the other. It is not forgotten that a considerable number of persons mingle their own labor with capital; that is, they labor with their own hands and also buy or hire others to labor for them; but this is only a mixed and not a distinct class. No principle stated is disturbed by the existence of this mixed class.

Again, as has already been said, there is not of necessity any such thing as the free hired laborer being fixed to that condition for life. Many independent men everywhere in these States a few years back in their lives were hired laborers. The prudent, penniless beginner in the world labors for wages awhile, saves a surplus with which to buy tools or land for himself, then labors on his own account another while, and at length hires another new beginner to help him. This is the just and generous and prosperous system which opens the way to all, gives hope to all, and consequent energy and progress and improvement of condition to all. No men living are more worthy to be trusted than those who toil up from poverty; none less inclined to take or touch aught which they have not honestly earned. Let them beware of surrendering a political power which they already possess, and which if surrendered will surely be used to close the door of advancement against such as they and to fix new disabilities and burdens upon them till all of liberty shall be lost.

Do like making yourself a fool?

Good reply TPP. The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Thank You!

Lincoln was a socialist and the Rothchilds funded John Wilkes Booth! (Just kidding.)

I don't run because I could never be elected. (And I love my privacy.)

Oh yeah sure you did, and I had sex with Kate Middleton last week right before she got married. If you're gonna lie, at least make it believable...

I told YOU vl, I DON'T LIE!

Mike Huckabee had an interesting idea on Jay Leno. Instead of presidential primaries and caucuses, they should run campaigns like American Idol. Each party would pick 10 candidates based on the GOP or DNC website and 6 independents or minor party types would be picked. And every week, one or two people would be voted off. This should cut down on the need for campaign donations. And once the top 2 are picked, then you can have the election.

It's getting that way now, popularity, not skill, knowledge, leadership ability....

I'm thinking along opposite lines...

The polls should only be open for in-person voting during the hours that American Idol is on the local TV station. There should be a TIVO scrambler installed in the American Idol signal.

Nobody, are you trying to impact the scrambled egghead effect on the vote?

No, I'm not trying to impact that effect...


I'm trying to eliminate it.
