If only.......
« on: July 28, 2009, 01:01:42 AM »
"The house of representatives ... can make no law which will not have its full operation on themselves and their friends, as well as the great mass of society. This has always been deemed one of the strongest bonds by which human policy can connect the rulers and the people together. It creates between them that communion of interest, and sympathy of sentiments, of which few governments have furnished examples; but without which every government degenerates into tyranny." --Federalist No. 57, February 19, 1788

What are the specifics of your referal? Health care, social security? What or what else? eddie

I don't think whatever his specifics are really matter.  It says what it means and means what it says.  Apply it to your specifics to see where we're headed.

A general disconnect between the two social classes I assume. I wasn't picking a fight, I just couldn't figure out what the post meant when I first read it. I was distracted by the terms "the rulers and the people" and the thought that all governments degenerate even if they don't degenerate into "tyranny". eddie

The intention was just to show that the original intent of the constitution's framers was that the rulers would be subject to the same laws they made.  If our representative bodies did this, it would no doubt change many things for the better.
