house of paine

As Tom Paine once opined on this subject: "When it shall be said in any country in the world, ‘My poor are happy; neither ignorance nor distress is to be found among them; my jails are empty of prisoners, my streets of beggars; the aged are not in want, the taxes are not oppressive'--- when these things can be said then may that country boast of its constitution and its government." Folks, we gotta ways to go.
