“When the concept of Social Security came before the House, every Republican but one voted against it. Had it not been for the Democrats, Social Security would never have passed, and our older people would not have this great support that our people provide. It has been my experience that Democrats generally vote to protect the people, while Republicans seem to try to protect the interests of big business.” PeopleTryingHas BeensBigsSeemsPoliticalHousePoliticsSocialInterestSupportSecurityRepublicanProtectConceptsVoteDemocratSocial SecurityBig BusinessOlder People Author:Sam Rayburn
“The idea that full employment without property ownership will solve the world's problems is utter nonsense.

“Bring on those tired, labor-plagued, competition-weary companies and ESOP will breathe new life into them. They will find ESOP better than Geritol. It will revitalize what is wrong with capitalism. It will increase productivity. It will improve labor relations. It will promote economic justice. It will save the economic system. It will make our form of government and our concept of freedom prevail over those who don't agree with us.” WisdomGovernmentFormPoliticsJusticeCompanyEconomyEconomicConceptsCapitalismLaborIncreaseRelationAgreeTiredCompetitionBreatheProductivityLiberalismWearyNew LifeForms Of GovernmentEconomic SystemsEconomic JusticeEsops Author:Russell B.

“The Western world generally has lost the concept of man as a creature made to the image and likeness of God, and reduced him either to a component part of the universe, to an economic animal or to a "physiological bag filled with psychological libido." Once man became materialized and atomized in Western thinking, it was only natural for a totalitarianism to arise to gather up the fragments into a new totality and substitute the collective man for the individual man who was isolated from all social responsibilities.” ThinkingMenWorldMadeWisdomUniversePoliticsIndividualLostSocialNaturalAnimalResponsibilityEconomyEconomicCreaturesConceptsFilledWesternArisePsychologicalLiberalismBagsCollectivesSubstitutesIsolatedSocial ResponsibilityComponentsFragmentsTotalitarianismTotalityWestern WorldPhysiologicalLibido Author:Fulton J.

“To an American, that which deprives him of his freedom he regards as injustice, and that which allows him to enjoy that freedom he regards as justice. The concept of justice is as central to the totality of his being as freedom is, and this is not surprising, since the motivating idea behind the American Declaration of Independence was the fervent desire for justice.” IdeasDesirePoliticsEnjoyJusticeBehindsEconomyConceptsRegardIndependenceInjusticeLiberalismSurprisingDeclarationTotalityDeclaration Of IndependenceFervent Author:Ndabaningi Sithole

“The 16th Amendment corroded the American concept of natural rights; ultimately reduced the American citizen to a status of subject, so much so that he is not aware of it; enhanced Executive power to the point of reducing Congress to innocuity; and enabled the central government to bribe the states, once independent units, into subservience. No kingship in the history of the world ever exercised more power than our Presidency, or had more of the people's wealth at its disposal.” PeopleWorldStatesGovernmentPoliticalPoliticsNaturalWealthRightsSubjectsCitizensConceptsIndependentCongressExecutivesAmendmentsUnitsPresidencyWorld HistoryReducingAmerican CitizensBribeNatural RightsExecutive PowerCentral GovernmentSubservienceKingship Book:Income Tax: Root of All Evil Source: Income Tax: Root of All Evil
