I do too! Just found a very wise quote from Jefferson, that you might be interested in. Haven't yet found a place to use it, but it is very interesting.

"To constrain the brute force of the people, the European governments deem it necessary to keep them down by hard labor, poverty and ignorance, and to take from them, as from bees, so much of their earnings, as that unremitting labor shall be necessary to obtain a sufficient surplus to sustain a scanty and miserable life." --Thomas Jefferson to William Johnson, 1823.

Seems to be the idea of the dems and Obama.

Thomas Jefferson observed it, and has noted it well! Obama is nothing different. His type have been doing what they do for as long as man has inhabited the earth. Although I'll have to admit that I wish he had been cut off with the rest of Cain's bloodline!
