If anyone was around and interested, it might be a terrific auction. I don’t see so many of them any more. So if you live or work near Easton, PA (off I-78), here it is:

At its most basic level, capitalism offers people the freedom to choose where they work and what they do … the dignity that comes with profiting from their talent and hard work. … The free-market system also provides the incentives that lead to prosperity — the incentive to work, to innovate, to save and invest wisely, and to create jobs for others.†-President George W. Bush In other words, free-market capitalism is the best path to prosperity.
