In Reply to: Thanks for the great post! Your Thomas Jefferson quote comes from several different letters and is not exact. posted by Teresa on December 15, 2012 at 00:00:39:
I usually don't bother to quote famous people, because I am confident enough in my own beliefs. I know what I have seen with my own eyes the last few decades, as I've watched this country trickle-down.
I also know that the "haves" will never agree with the "have nots" in how wealth should be distributed. That problem has existed since the beginning and will continue until the end. It's the root cause of revolutions, past, present and future. As a species, we will never learn how to share the fruits of this wonderful opportunity that is life. Sigh.
