Best one sentence quote I've seen in many a moon.

Mr Benson was a former revenue agent for Illinois and the title of his book was "The Law That Never Was".

Naturally everyone knows that our government is open and honest and has only our best interests at heart. And it don't snow in Minneapolis......

Good question, Mary.

Komrad Waffler, if the folk in the Hamptons had to cut domestic servents and household staff didn't that mean that those people were out of jobs. Oh, wait, sort of like those people losing their jobs today. You're right about one thing, us middle classers don't feel secure today, and that's mainly due to that merry band of fascists running the country today. As to the graduated income tax, Karl Marx loved it and included it in his communist manifesto.

Waffler, as usual, your comment is pure nonsense. " Government is nothing more than togetherness", you are truly insane. I wonder how that would have sounded to a Jew in Nazi Germany or someone in a Gulag in Stalins Russia. Maybe a political prisoner in Cuba would find that comment comforting. George Washington summed it up when he said, "Government is not eloquence, not reason, it is force, and like fire it is a dangerous servent and a fearful master". But of course, we all know that you are smarter than Washington.

Perhaps we should be a little kinder to Waff as he is obviously insane.

J, it's hard to see how he could get more insane but I guess it's possible.

Well said group, so far, but Reston and Waffler haven't weighed in yet.

The legislation passed and the depression continued right up to December 7th,1941, when the attack on Pearl Harbor bailed FDR out.

90% of the people in our government don't care a hoot about the Constitution. It is merely a speed bump on their road to a socialist America.

You commit theft and you go to jail. The hacks in our congress do it and get paid to do it.

Then there's those wonderful asset forfeiture laws that enable cops to take private property without charging anyone with a crime. All done because of this war on people disguised as "The War on Drugs".

Waffler, you would be better served if you would remember this quote, "Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, than open it and remove all doubt". However, in your case it may be too late.

Waffler, you can't be serious with a ridiculous comment like yours. Your comment is so absurd that it's hard to respond to, but J Carlton said it very well. Waffler, please sober up before responding to quotes.

Reston, I see you took your stupid pill this morning, like a good little leftist.

Reston, your comment was inane to give you the benefit of the doubt. It's liberals in both parties that have spent us way past bankruptcy. The quote is exactly right and you are exactly wrong.

Well said Joe, and the war on drugs is actually a war on people. This outrage has to be terminated.

Taking resposibility for yourself, what a novel idea. Think of the bureaucrats that would have to get honest jobs if we all did this.

True and funny.

Komrads Reston and Waff never disappoint, always on the socialist side of every argument. Obama and his minions are tirelessly working to make this quote a reality. They look you straight in the eye and tell you that the economy is better while jobless rates climb. Ahh, the wonderous mind of the liberal.

Waff and Reston, spoken like two big government lefties. Spooner didn't say that the ONLY notion of liberty was money but I suspect this quote suggests keeping your money away from those big spenders in Washington.

The Bible says that the love of money is the root of all evil. I think that it's the lack of money, not the love of money.

Unlike government, when a thief robs you, he doesn't try to convince you that it's done for your own good.

"No mans life,liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session".
