“When you accept money in payment for your effort, you do so only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the product of the effort of others. It is not the moochers or the looters who give value to money. Not an ocean of tears nor all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow. Those pieces of paper, which should have been gold, are a token of honor—your claim upon the energy of the men who produce. Your wallet is your statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money. Is this what you consider evil?” – Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand, 1957

What era are you living in Vince??? Or maybe you need to brush up on your math. The population of Albuquerque is almost 600,000 and the state sits right around 2 million. Your numbers are off by about 100 years.

“From the capital this pestilence was diffused into the provinces and cities of the East, and the sportive distinction of two colours produced two strong and irreconcilable factions, which shook the foundations of a feeble government… Every law, either human or divine, was trampled under foot; and as long as the party was successful, its deluded followers appeared careless of private distress or public calamity.”
The History of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon. Volume IV, Chapter XL.

125,000 Americans – more then twice the population of Albuquerque and just over half the entire population of NM. Keep in mind this is only the number of our fellow citizens who've lost their unemployment insurance benefits (so far) due to these political shenanigans and only a fraction of the 13,200,000 workers that are now unemployed.
