Dumb As We Wanna Be
In the Federalist Papers nos. 9 and 10, Hamilton and Madison argued about the benefit of the Republic against the evil of faction. Common wisdom relates that argument as being against special interests. While that seems true, I think it can also refer to the political parties themselves. Thomas Friedman in a recent opinion piece on the proposal to waive the federal gas tax for the summer, demonstrates why the political parties are our worst enemy of our well being. |
