"That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise."
-- President Abraham Lincoln - 1864
"The supply-side claim is not a claim. It is empirically true and historically convincing that with lower rates of taxation on labor and capital, the factors of production, you'll get a bigger economy."

I think Cantor would make a fine Vice President.
However, Farnsworth is right that there is a distinction between the House and the Senate. A difference in stature definitely exists between the two houses.
So between the two, a junior Senator can make the leap to President long before a House member can – why? – because he’s in the Senate.
It’s like some of our politicians on the Right who were prosecutors for a few months and then did something else. Once a prosecutor, always a prosecutor.
Once a Senator, always a Senator.
The House is just seen as a bunch of starbucks swilling rabble. Personally, I think Farnsworth was spot-on.
When you think about it, the perception of the difference in stature is mainly attributable to there being only 100 Senators vs. 435 House members and the difference in term lengths of 6 years vs. 2 years.
That being said, I’d love to see Dems attack Cantor as the VP nominee and then for the GOP to roll out how their VP nominee has more experience and accomplishments than their Pres. nominee.
