“I trace the inequality to a particular set of decisions that we took when we lowered the tax rate from 91% down to very low levels at the top, where we stripped away regulations.

A third of a century later, we can say fairly definitively that it was a failure.”

“If the amount of money going into the war economy were invested in landscape restoration, we would be in a far more positive position.

It will be a difficult century, and ugly, but I don't think that in the end people are so stupid as to kill themselves off.”

“Since it is to the advantage of the wage-payer to pay as little as possible, even well-paid labor will have no more than what is regarded in a particular society as the reasonable level of subsistence. The lower ranks of labor will commonly have less, and if public relief were afforded even up to the wage-level of the lowest ranks of labor, that relief would compete in the labor market; check or dry up the supply of wage-labor. It would tend to render the performance of work by the wage-earner redundant.”
