Rep. Justin Amash, a freshman Republican from Michigan, is setting a new standard for representatives in Congress: sticking to principles and upholding the Constitution, no matter how unpopular it might make him with seasoned politicians in Washington.
In a New York Times profile piece, Amash explains his voting record in which he has bucked his majority leadership 25% of the time — the most of any House Republican:"
“So you think that money is the root of all evil?” said Francisco d’Anconia. “Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can’t exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them.” … “Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?” - Atlas Shrugged
