“THUS DID A HANDFUL OF RAPACIOUS CITIZENS COME TO CONTROL ALL THAT WAS WORTH CONTROLLING IN AMERICA. THUS WAS THE SAVAGE AND STUPID AND ENTIRELY INAPPROPRIATE AND UNNECESSARY AND HUMORLESS AMERICAN CLASS SYSTEM CREATED. HONEST, INDUSTRIOUS, PEACEFUL CITIZENS WERE CLASSED AS BLOODSUCKERS IF THEY ASKED TO BE PAID A LIVING WAGE. AND THEY SAW THAT PRAISE WAS RESERVED HENCEFORTH FOR THOSE WHO DEVISED MEANS OF GETTING PAID ENORMOUSLY FOR COMMITTING CRIMES.”
