Henry Fielding

 

Once again he began to feel bad in the best of environments. And he noticed that other people did too. So bad did they feel, in fact, that it took the worst of news to cheer them up. On the finest mornings he noticed that people in the subway looked awful until they opened their newspapers and read of some airliner crashing and killing all hundred and seven passengers. Where there had been misery in their happiness, now as they shook their heads dolefully at the tragedy they became happy in their misery.

Oh, the poor folks hate the rich folks,
And the rich folks hate the poor folks.
All of my folks hate all of your folks,
It's American as apple pie.

Knowing Ron Paul and having talked to him, I think he's a very fair guy I just think that a lot of folks do not understand the Libertarian platform.
I've read Ron Paul's whole philosophy, I also understand what he's saying from a political standpoint and why people are attacking him.
If you scare the folks that have the money, they're going to attack you and they're going to take it out of context.
What he's saying is really really threatening the powers that be and that's what they fear.
