Can any American legislator who votes for a $900 billion deficit increase run as a "fiscal conservative" in 2012?

When the rich plunder the poor of his rights,
it becomes an example for the poor to plunder the rich of his property,
for the rights of the one are as much property to him
as wealth is property to the other,
and the little all is as dear as the much.

It is only by setting out on just principles
that men are trained to be just to each other; and it will always be found,
that when the rich protect the rights of the poor,
the poor will protect the property of the rich.

But the guarantee, to be effectual, must be parliamentarily reciprocal.

Thomas Paine
