Tort reform would save the whole economic system. The lawyers tax is
a
drag on the whole economy, producing absolutely nothing.



?? Come on. More nonsense. Most lawyers are honest and hardworking.
Lawyers
founded this country. We have nothing to be ashamed of.

The only explaination I have is lawyers back then were more honest and
under a lot more scruteny on the issue of governance. Probably because
many of their peers were NOT lawyers and they had to get acceptance
from the people.

"We the people..." founded the USA. Otherwise the residents would have
hung the idiots as traitors to the crown, and they were traitors to the
British. But victors write the history books.

BTW, I think they did a good job. Just an observation that they were
British subjects before they were Americans.

To be a lawyer in those days, you did not have to indoctrinated by a law
school. Just read the books and take the bar exam.

Only partially correct. You had to apprentice with an established lawyer,
much as John Adams did. As usual, you know little about what you write.

I read no where of Lincoln apprenticing with an established lawyer. I
think he was already a state senator when he took the bar.



So, you believe that Lincoln was one of the founders.... also, you're
unfamiliar with the concept of frontier country lawyers, which were quite
different than those on the East Coast.
