but there is nothing to prove it one way or another. I suppose it depends on what you consider 'proof'. He did write this... “We may congratulate ourselves that this cruel war is nearing its end. It has cost a vast amount of treasure and blood. . . . It has indeed been a trying hour for the Republic; but I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war. God grant that my suspicions may prove groundless.” ratical.org This is in spite of his close connections with the railroads. And he was very friendly to workers. Especially for the time.

Time to move, Ten? Perhaps you'd be more at home here: intel.com SAN JOSE -- Even as California and the rest of the nation move toward raising the minimum wage to $10 an hour, San Jose's lowest-paid workers are about to get even bigger paychecks and should continue to earn more than their peers for years to come. A voter-approved measure pushed San Jose's minimum wage from $8 to $10 in March, but it also included a provision to bump up the rate at the pace of inflation each New Year's Day. On Wednesday, it goes up to $10.15 for an estimated 54,000 workers. The annual cost-of-living boost may seem like spare change to some. But as one of only two cities in California, along with San Francisco, that has inflation-based raises, it will ensure San Jose minimum wage workers stay ahead of the pay scale curve while the rest of the country catches up. mercurynews.com

Texas Megachurch Pastor Robert Jeffress: Obama Is The Precursor To The Anti-Christ "For the first time in history a president of our country has openly proposed altering one of society's (not to mention God's) most fundamental laws: that marriage should be between a man and a woman. While I am not suggesting that President Obama is the Antichrist, the fact that he was able to propose such a sweeping change in God's law and still win reelection by a comfortable margin illustrates how a future world leader will be able to oppose God's laws without any repercussions." - Texas megachurch Pastor Robert Jeffress, from his new book Perfect Ending.
