Founders' Daily Quote: 5 Mar 09

Thursday, March 5, 2009.
"[C]ommercial shackles are generally unjust, oppressive and impolitic. ...[I]f industry and labour are left to take their own course, they will generally be directed to those objects which are the most productive, and this in a more certain and direct manner than the wisdom of the most enlightened legislature could point out."

--James Madison, speech to Congress, 9 April 1789

You hit that nail on the head. Now what do we do about the unions that own our legislature?
