“Difficult days lie ahead.  More jobs will be lost.  More plants will close. More dealerships will shut their doors and so will many parts suppliers. But I want you to know that what you’re doing is making a sacrifice for the next generation.” – Barack Obama

“It only stands to reason that where there’s sacrifice, there’s someone collecting the sacrificial offerings.  Where there’s service, there is someone being served.  The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.” – Ayn Rand
