“The undersigned sponsors of the foregoing legislation do hereby state and affirm their belief that it is more important for the federal government to spend the funds necessary for the implementation of this legislation than it would be for the taxpayer who actually worked for and earned these funds to retain them for use in caring for and investing in the future of their own families.”

Here’s the new Slavery Compact:”

It isn’t obvious that the “Slavery Compact” is the *exact opposite* of the RLC’s “Liberty Compact”, which is actually a rephrasing of Barry Goldwater’s convention speech.
