>From TomPaine's Take On The News:

WHEN A COUNTRY MAY BOAST

TomPaine.com will be downshifting for the July 4th week -- our favorite! -- and so is our blog. We leave you with this quote from our namesake, Thomas Paine:

"When shall it be said in any country of the world, my poor are happy; neither ignorance or 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 not oppressive; the rational world is my friend because I am friend of its happiness; when these things can be said, then may that country boast of its constitution and government."
