More From Cardinal Richelieu

[my father] did get enough money to buy mules. we didn't have tractors, but he bought mules, wagons, cultivators and some farming equipment. as soon as he bought that and decided to rent some land, because it was always better if you rent the land, but as soon as he got the mules and wagons and everything, somebody went to our trough - a white man who didn't live very far from us - and he fed the mules paris green, put it in their food and it killed the mules and our cows.

There's no way you can grow an economy with that, with that many people not working and not paying taxes, you can have any kind of government solvency, you can't have any kind of growing economy, which is exactly what the democrats want, by the way. much better for the democrats that you don't work. the more you work, the less dependent on them you are. if this sounds hideous, i'm sorry, it's true.
