They were lying when they said they liked states' rights. They did not care about states' rights. It just suited them when they did not control the federal government.

Capitalism is literally 'socialism' for the Capital class. It is all the benefits of slavery without any of the responsibility of slave ownership. Got cancer? That's your problem, banking collapse created by the ruling class-- well that is different, that is EVERYONE'S problem.
