“The Forgotten Man... works, he votes, generally he prays-but he always pays-yes, above all, he pays. He does not want an office; his name never gets into the newspaper except when he gets married or dies. He keeps production going on....

All the burdens fall on him, or on her, for it is time to remember that the Forgotten Man is not seldom a woman.” MenWantDoeRememberDiesFallNamesPayPrayingOfficeMarriedVoteForgottenProductionsBurdenNewspapersGroceriesTaverns Author:William Graham Sumner
