“A government which is composed of the middle class more nearly approximates to democracy than to oligarchy, and is the safest of the imperfect forms of government.”
“Democracy leads to anarchy, which is mob rule.”

Turn it right on your Senators and Representatives.”
“The taxpayers are sending congressmen on expensive trips abroad. It might be worth it except they keep coming back”
