I came across this and thought if any political party published this and only this as its manifesto it would probably win the next election.
"The budget should be balanced and the Treasury should
be refilled.
Public debt should be reduced and the arrogance of
officialdom should be tempered and controlled.
The assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed, lest
Rome become bankrupt.
People must again learn to work, instead of living on
public assistance."
Cicero - 55 BC
We don't learn much do we? 2,064 years later and we're
still making the same mistakes. Amazing...
