Eisenhower quote rings so true today! |
|
Over 50 years ago, and look how true it is today. "Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid." - President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 11/8/54

You know, I love that quote, but I've been burned one too many times. The Abe Lincoln quote about corporations, and there was another biggie circulating a year ago that turned out to be bogus. This sounds so tailor-made for "us" that I'm a bit suspect. No reflection on you, mind you...I've just grown a bit more cynical over the last few years. Gee, I wonder why?!
