Hello Microdot, Another quote that complements this posting is by Teddy Roosevelt, “A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.”
We are still seeing the same thing going on today all too often.
I learned many years after the death of my grandfather that his brother was a HUGE supporter of Eugene Debs. My grandfather wrote often to his family back in Germany about the horrible conditions here in the 'land of the free' during the Depression. He could never figure out how such a powerful government as this could produce such greed and inequality in the social structure.
His grandson wonders the same some 80 years later.

"Long live the dictatorship of the proletariat."
