"The wealthy, not only by private fraud but also by common laws, do every day pluck and snatch away from the people some part of their daily living. Therefore, when I consider and weigh in my mind these commonwealths which nowadays do flourish, I perceive nothing but a certain conspiracy of rich men in procuring their own commodities under the name and authority of the commonwealth.
They invent and devise all means and crafts, first how to keep safely without fear of losing that which they have unjustly gathered together, and next how to hire and abuse the work and labor of the people for as little money and effort as possible."

We need more people to come around like this guy, Coldie, but alas it will not be enough. The Obama supporters have their eyes and ears closed. Kind of like those three monkeys: see, speak and hear no evil.
That will change Lefty as things get really bad soon. Once Obama attempts to cut "entitlements" like social security, i.e the ability of seniors to feed themselves and secure shelter, in order to subsidize the Wall Street bandits and our globe-devouring military industrial complex I suspect you'll hear grumbles.

Coldie, I found that quote:
Anyone who is not a liberal at age 20 has no heart, and anyone who is not a conservative at age 40 has no brain. LOLLOL
