Yep Ron, the quote is
"the primary function of government is to protect the minority of the opulent from the majority of the poor." - James Madison
I believe this was something he said during the Constitutional Convention. This pretty much to me is what Washington is doing. Both Parties. The majority truly has no say in who goes to Washington to represent us. We can only choose from those the parties tell us we can choose from. Very depressing.
This shows you the power of our hobby. While I'm in the garage cutting and hacking on metal, I can forget all about this!
