“I don't want our success to be measured only by financial yardsticks, or by our distribution or number of shops. What I want to be celebrated for - and it's going to be tough in a business environment - is how good we are to our employees and how we benefit our community. It's a different bottom line.” WantDifferentCommunityLinesNumbersBusinessEnvironmentBenefitsToughBottomFinancialShopsEmployeeDistributionBottom LineOur CommunityYardsticksBusiness Environment Author:Anita Roddick
“To cover the fact that a central bank is merely a cartel which has been legalized, its proponents had to lay down a thick smoke screen of technical jargon focusing always on how it would supposedly benefit commerce, the public, and the nation... there was not the slightest glimmer that underneath it all, was a master plan which was designed from top to bottom to serve private interests at the expense of the public... the system is merely a cartel with a government facade.” Has BeensFactsGovernmentNationsInterestPlansMastersBenefitsLaysBottomScreensSmokeExpensesThickCommerceFacadeCentral BanksJargonCartels Author:G.

“This is what oligarchy looks like: Today, the top one-tenth of 1 percent owns almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent. The top one-hundredth of 1 percent makes more than 40 percent of all campaign contributions. The billionaire class owns the political system and reaps the benefits from it.” LooksTodayPoliticalWealthClassBenefitsPercentBottomCampaignsContributionReapBillionairePolitical SystemsOligarchyCampaign Contributions Author:Bernie Sanders
“People I didn't know formed a circle around me, sheltering me from view. They escorted me safely back to our jurta, undetected. They didn't ask for anything. They were happy to help someone, to succeed at something, even if they weren't to benefit. We'd been trying to touch the sky from the bottom of the ocean. I realized that if we boosted one another, maybe we'd get a little closer.” PeopleIfsKnowsTryingLittlesHelpingAsksViewsSkySucceedOceanBenefitsBottomI RealizedCircles Book:Between Shades of Gray Source: Between Shades of Gray
“Contrast 1968, when the CEO of General Motors took home, in pay and benefits, about sixty-six times the amount paid to a typical GM worker. Today the CEO of Wal-Mart earns nine hundred times the wages of his average employee. Indeed, the wealth of the Wal-Mart founder's family in 2005 was estimated at about the same ($90 billion) as that of the bottom 40% of the US population: 120 million people.” PeopleHomeTodayWealthPayMillionsAmountSixBenefitsHundredPaidWorkersBottomAveragePopulationBillionsNineEmployeeContrastSixtyFoundersTypicalCeoWagesMotorGeneral Motors Book:Ill Fares the Land Source: Ill Fares the Land
