FLASHBACK: Abraham Lincoln Wrote Playbook For Wisconsin Dems Who Fled State
http://thinkprogress.org/2011/02/20/lincoln-fled-state-wisconsin/

“Labor is prior to and independent of capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor and could not have existed had not labor first existed. Labor is the superior of capital and deserves much the higher consideration.”
-Abraham Lincoln

3. Another Lincoln Quote

“I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money-power of the country will endeavor to prolong it's reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed.” Abraham Lincoln

7. Ahead of the curve I'm not.

But I know a good thing when I see it. And if the great kpete uses this quote, so will many more DUers. So it's all good!;-)
