Need to add more tinfoil, dude, some beams are getting through. Thy hat is failing!

We sell those too, but the real money is in selling combat helmets and other military items for inflated prices. In third world countries we've actually bribed a few politicians to buy the local water rights and then sold people their own water at prices they can't afford. About the only thing better then that is if you can print your own money, but today everything's electronic and the boys on Wall Street have already figured out how to just move around a few digits without getting caught. Saves on printing costs. Do you know what ink costs these days?

Because FDR says, as Jackson quotes, that true individual freedom can’t exist without economic security.

aka...So being a wage slave to government in the form of taxation and over regulation to support someone else's lifestyle/pension plan is anti-American.

Thanks.

Edit: Any right given must be secured somehow. Giving people the "right to a home" means someone else would be forced to pay for it and thus have their economic security and freedom violated. Unless you believe that government funds to pay for that home is magically grown in on trees.

He's a Representative in the United States Congress.

You know, the people that vote on the laws that effect us all?

My point is, Mr Jackson is speaking for not too many other people than himself. You guys can get some outrage going over but are there any bills on the table to do this? No.
