Lincoln quote on Labor.

[Sherman A1]

"Labor is prior to and independent of capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration." - Abraham Lincoln

I believe the gentleman understood how things work, as opposed to those in his party (and many Democrats) who came later.

1. "All that does harm to labor is treason" -- Abe Lincoln

Certainly we have to start thinking about slow downs -- with everyone particiapting --

and denying corporations what dollars we have left!!

[Sherman A1]

2. Precisely

Although some of that "slowdown" may well be the self inflicted wound that Corporations have created by following the "more with less" mantra. By holding down wages, continuous "right sizing" and alike they have stripped away the ability of consumer to consume in a consumer based and driven society.

No Jobs = No Customers and No Spending on the products of the Corporations.
