QUOTE OF THE DAY

“A poor man is ever at a disadvantage in matters of public concern. When he rises to speak, or writes a letter to his superiors, they ask: ‘Who is this fellow that offers advice?’

And when it is known that he is without coin they spit their hands at him, and use his letters in the cooks’ fires. But if it be a man of wealth who would speak, or write, or denounce, even though he have the brain of a yearling dromedary, or a spine as crooked and unseemly, the whole city listens to his words and declares them wise.”

Li Hung Chang, as quoted by Upton Sinclair in The Brass Check

Li Hung Chang did not live in a Republic!

Any Citizen, regardless of how humble his station, who is not ignorant of the law, is nevertheless still Sovereign over his Public SERVANT Fiduciaries, from POTUS down to local Dogcatcher.

Cheers, S. Rex
