The Founders Really Got It
"A just security to property is not afforded by that government under which unequal taxes oppress one species of property and reward another species." --James Madison
THE FORGOTTEN MAN
As soon as A observes which seems to him to be wrong, from which X is suffering, A talks it over with B and they propose to get a law passed to remedy the evil and help X. Their law always proposes to determine what C shall do for X or what A, B and C can do for X. I want to look up C to show you the manner of a man he is. I call him the Forgotten Man. Perhaps the appellation is not strictly correct. He is the man who is never thought of....He works, he votes, generally he prays - but he always pays...."
