"Before I am finished here, we will look at the justice system as if we were children taking a watch apart, and I make no representation that we can get it back together again. We'll examine the pieces: how the crimes of non-living corporations cost the rest of us ten times more than all the crimes of all the street thugs and mobsters and crooks combined." - With Justice for None - Destroying an American Myth, by Gerry Spence (Attorney)
"Having passed historic legislation to make American factories the
fairest, cleanest, safest and finest place on earth for industrial
workers, liberals then turn around and backed free trade agreements that
say to U.S. manufacturers: "If you want to get out from under all these
liberal laws, if you want to be rid of those demanding U.S. workers and
unions, shut down your plant here, lay off your U.S. workers, move to
China, make your goods there, and export them, free of charge, back to the USA.
Pocket all the money you save and put it into executive bonuses and
laugh at us liberals on the slopes of Teluride and Vail." Day of Reckoning - How Hubris, Ideology and Greed Are Tearing America Apart, by Patrick Buchanan
"James Madison, author of our Bill of Rights, boasted shortly after the American Revolution that he could make $257 annually on each slave he owned, and was required to spend only $12 or $13 yearly on the slave's upkeep." - With Justice for None - Destroying an American Myth, by Gerry Spence (Attorney)
"Indeed, the black man was not the only slave in America. Voracious in their quest for cheap labor, the colonists conceived of the indentured servant scheme, whereby the poor, imprisoned in England for petty crimes or debt, entered into indenture agreements for their passage to the new world and freedom...the poor had not fared well in England. In 1572 Elizabeth decreed: 'Unlicensed beggars above 14 years of age are to be severely flogged and branded on the left ear unless someone will take them into service for 2 years; in case of repetition of offense, if they are over 18, they are to be executed without mercy as felons."
