“We stand for a living wage. Wages are subnormal if they fail to provide a living for those who devote their time and energy to industrial occupations. The monetary equivalent of a living wage varies according to local conditions, but must include enough to secure the elements of a normal standard of living-a standard high enough to make morality possible, to provide for education and recreation, to care for immature members of the family, to maintain the family during periods of sickness, and to permit of reasonable saving for old age.” IfsEnoughCareAgeEnergyFailingConditionsPeriodsMoralityMembersElementsNormalStandardsLocalsOld AgeSecureSavingReasonableSicknessOccupationPermitWagesVaryRecreationMonetaryImmatureMinimum WageStandards Of LivingTime And EnergyLiving Wage Author:Theodore Roosevelt
“To discover the true principles of morality, men have no need of theology, of revelation, or of gods. They need but common sense. They have only to look within themselves, to reflect upon their own nature, to consult their obvious interests, to consider the object of society and of each of the members who compose it, and they will easily understand that virtue is an advantage, and that vice is an injury to beings of the species.” MenNeedsLooksInterestCommonPrinciplesVirtueAtheismObjectsMoralityMembersAdvantageSpeciesVicesObviousTheologyCommon SenseRevelationsInjury Author:Jean Meslier

“There is not a single person in the media today that could wear Dr. Benjamin Carson's uniform, whatever uniform he puts on in a day, a business suit, if it's surgical scrubs, there's not a single member of the media that could do anything close to what Ben Carson has done with his life. But he gets - and he's not the only one - ripped to shreds, denigrated, destroyed, and for what? He holds to traditional values. He believes in morality. He is just a decent guy and he ends up a target for destruction. And he's not the only one.” IfsBelievePersonsEndsDoneTodayGuyValuesMediaMoralityMembersDestructionTraditionalDestroyedSuitsDecentTargetUniformsDrsRippedSingle PersonTraditional ValuesBen CarsonMedia TodayDecent Guys Author:Rush Limbaugh
