Will Rogers
A fool and his money are soon elected.
Will Rogers
I would never make a good economist. You know, an economist is a man that can tell you anything about — well, he will tell you what can happen under any given condition — and his guess is liable to be as good as anybody else's, too.
Will Rogers
The Democrats and the Republicans are equally corrupt where money is concerned. It's only in the amount where the Republicans excel.
