Only two bars, I expect you all to be able to understand it.

Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance. No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.

I believe the intent there was to mix an old Chinese proverb with The Who. I think the youngsters call that a mash-up.

Nothing surprising about that. As a general rule in both parties, you don't run against an incumbent from your own party. You wait your turn.

That is bad for business. If they're thrown out then there is a cost for bribing all the new ones that is significantly greater than the cost of maintence bribes to incumbents. This increased cost will have to be passed on to consumers.

No need for that with an endless supply of low wage workers flowing in from Mexico.

Will they do work that our citizens refuse to do ?

Which reminds me . . . Several years back, I was into urbexing, ie; Urban Exploring, scouting old shut down buildings, closed factories, prisons, hospitals, etc ... after several years of neglect, these places take on a life of their own. What's really interesting, is going in after a "scrapper" has been in there, yanking out anything recycleable that can be sold. A buddy of mine who used to do this with me once remarked, that a scrapper would spend all day busting through concrete to get $10 worth of copper, than working a real job . . .

Yes, and the good ones too, for less money.

+1 and they got what they deserved!

Just saying.

In a flash, they knew they had done wrong.

And if the democrats really cared about raising the minimum wage or a living wage, they would turn off the flow.
