“When banks place credits into your account, they are merely pretending to lend you money. In reality, they have nothing to lend. Even the money that non-indebted depositors have placed with them was originally created out of nothing in response to someone else's loan. So what entitles the banks to collect rent on nothing? It is immaterial that men everywhere are forced by law to accept these nothing certificates in exchange for real goods and services. We are talking here not about what is legal, but what is moral.” MenRealRealityLawTalkingAcceptingMoralAccountsResponseCreditMaking MoneyGoodsPretendingLoanCertificatesIndebtedGoods And Services Author:G.

“This kind of inequality - a level that we haven’t seen since the Great Depression - hurts us all. When middle-class families can no longer afford to buy the goods and services that businesses are selling...it drags down the entire economy from top to bottom. America was built on the idea of broad-based prosperity... That’s why a CEO like Henry Ford made it his mission to pay his workers enough so that they could buy the cars he made. It’s also why a recent study showed that countries with less inequality tend to have stronger and steadier economic growth over the long run.” KindLongMadeIdeasCountryEnoughRunningAmericaGrowthHurtLevelsPayClassEconomyStudyEconomicMiddleCarHavensBuiltStrongerWorkersBottomProsperityMissionsSellingInequalityMade ItMiddle ClassGoodsBroadsDragLong RunsCeoEconomic GrowthGreat DepressionGoods And ServicesMiddle Class Family Author:Barack Obama
“Listing rights generally involves enumerating things you may do without interference (the right to free speech) or may not be done to you without your permission (illegal search and seizure, loud boy-band music in public places). They are protections, not gifts of material goods. Material goods and services must be taken from others, or provided by their labor, so if you believe you have an absolute right to them, and others don't choose to provide it to you, you then have a 'right' to steal from them. But what about their far more fundamental right not to be robbed?” IfsBelieveMayDoneBoysTakenRightsMaterialsBandSpeechLaborAbsolutesFundamentalsProtectionStealingLoudIllegalGoodsFree SpeechPermissionIf You BelieveInterferenceGoods And ServicesSeizuresBoy Bands Author:Cliff Asness
