QUOTE OF THE DAY

“Poverty is not caused by men and women getting married; it’s not caused by machinery; it’s not caused by ‘over-production;’ it’s not caused by drink or laziness; and it’s not caused by ‘over-population.’ It’s caused by Private Monopoly. That is the present system. They have monopolized everything that it is possible to monopolize; they have got the whole earth, the minerals in the earth and the streams that water the earth.”

Robert Tressell, The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists
