Quote of the Day - Original Republican Edition

"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, December 3, 1861. Republican common sense 150 years ago; Rethuglican heresy today. Sic transit gloria, GOP. (h/t Driftglass)
