Rubio's Ignorant Regrets?

Once again, not to be mistaken for Tuesday's With Morrie, it's Tuesdays With Trump...

As pointed out in Deemed Repatriation? contrary to common belief based in false doctrine, the tax cuts on "repatriated" dollars will drive dollar and bond prices lower, while pushing cost of loan funds higher. On the New Year we Nattered presciently...  
"Spreads shall widen and rates shall increase, but this pales to the global plague of stupidity which grows to epic proportion."
Case in point...
“I thought we probably went too far on [helping] corporations.... [buybacks and dividends] that isn’t going to create dramatic economic growth.” - Marco Rubio
We offer you now a little item called Rubio's Ignorant Regrets?

What was murder in one month was not murder in another.  They [those acts] reminded him of the directions in old almanacs - in such a month let blood - in such another take cooling physic.

The sovereignty of the people was the most false, wicked and mischievous doctrine that could ever be preached to them. It was false, because they had no means of exercising their sovereignty.  And why was it broached?

Under a delusion, to strip them of their natural guardians, to kill the shepherd and his dogs, and make way for the wolves.  If the majority of the public was to be taken not by weight, but by tale, the most IGNORANT would elect, and none but the crafty and the wicked would be elected.

It was said to be dangerous to introduce an opposition of interest between the rich and the poor.  The man who possessed no property had as much interest in the constitution and good order of society as the man who did. True, an interest visible to every well informed man, but by no means so to the IGNORANT.

The moment that equality and the sovereignty of the people was adopted as the rule of government, property would be to an end, and religion, morality, and law, which grew out of the property, would fall with it.

FYI - Above quoted was part of the debate on Mr. Sheridan's Motion Relative to the Existence of Seditious Practices - Parliament 1793.

The lesson? The more things change, the more they stay the same. The problem is the same as it ever was, there are far too many ignoramuses.
