Shills Quotes

• El partido de Lincoln y de la Libertad se transmutó en el partido de los desarrolladores de pantanos y de los farsantes corporativos, de los economistas basados en la fe, de los matones fundamentalistas con Biblias, de los cristianos de conveniencia, de los racistas por cuenta propia, de los chicos de fraternidad misántropos, de los enanos chillones de la radio AM, de los tramposos fiscales, de los nihilistas con pantalones de golf, de los camisas pardas con raya diplomática, de los magnates de las fábricas de explotación ... Republicanos: La razón nº 1 por la que el resto del mundo piensa que somos sordos, tontos y peligrosos.

• I think that argument is completely morally bankrupt, and I think people know that when they make it.

• In truth, the gold standard is already a barbarous relic. All of us, from the Governor of the Bank of England downwards, are now primarily interested in preserving the stability of business, prices, and employment, and are not likely, when the choice is forced on us, deliberately to sacrifice these to outworn dogma, which had its value once, of 3 pounds, 17 shill ings, 10 1/2 pence per ounce. Advocates of the ancient standard do not observe how remote it now is from the spirit and the requirements of the age. A regulated nonmetallic standard has slipped in unnoticed. It exists.
