“The free-trade idea, logically applied, will abolish usury; and with usury will disappear the chief bone of contention between labor and capital. But, just at this point, free-traders go over to the enemy; and many writers on political economy, in flat contradiction of the essential principles of that science, have made elaborate arguments to prove self-government in finance, impossible! What shall we think of men who, having dethroned kings, demolished popes, destroyed slave oligarchies and assailed tariff monopoly, advise submission to the most oppressive and dishonest of despotisms, Usury?” ThinkingMenMadeIdeasSelfGovernmentPoliticalEnemyPrinciplesEconomyImpossibleKingsProveEssentialsArgumentLaborTradeSlaveBonesDisappearFinanceDestroyedChiefsContradictionFlatsPopeSubmissionMonopolyAdviseDespotismAbolishThink Of MeContentionFree TradeTradersOligarchySelf-governmentTariffsPolitical EconomyUsuryLabor And Capital Author:Ezra Heywood
“England was killed by an idea: the idea that the weak, indolent and profligate must be supported by the strong, industrious, and frugal – to the degree that tax-consumers will have a living standard comparable to that of taxpayers; the idea that government exists for the purpose of plundering those who work to give the product of their labor to those who do not work. The economic and social cannibalism produced by this communist-socialist idea will destroy any society which adopts it and clings to it as a basic principle – ANY society.” GivingIdeasGovernmentPurposeStrongSocialPrinciplesEconomicProductsTaxesDegreesStandardsLaborWeakEnglandConsumersCommunistSocialistTaxpayersIndustriousBasic PrinciplesCannibalismFrugal Author:Dan Smoot
“The biggest threat to the American people today lies with the United States government. ... [T]he long-term solution is to dismantle, not reform, the iron fist of the welfare state and the controlled economy. This includes the end (not the reform) of the IRS, the DEA, the BATF, the SEC, the FDA, HUD, the departments of HHS, Labor, Agriculture, and energy, and every other agency that takes money from some and gives it to others or interferes with peaceful behavior.” PeopleGivingLongEndsStatesGovernmentTodayLyingEnergyTermUnitedUnited StatesEconomyBehaviorSolutionsLaborThreatPeacefulReformWelfareLong TermAgencyDepartmentIronControlledAgricultureInterfereFistsState GovernmentWelfare StateIrsFdaUnited States Government Author:Jacob G.

“The Government cannot afford to have a country made up entirely of rich people, because rich people pay so little tax that the Government would quickly go bankrupt. This is why Government men always tell us that labor is man's noblest calling.

“The Government as Substitute Husband did for women what labor unions still have not accomplished for men. And men pay dues for labor unions; the taxpayer pays the dues for feminism.

“Work is a means; it is not an end. And for any tasks that can be performed or eliminated by a capital instrument, human labor is not the best means... Furthermore, we have science, engineering and management - the three disciplines - that really plan and control the production of goods and services, trying to eliminate labor. Who the hell is government to come along and try to create labor? The people who are producing wealth are trying to eliminate toil, while the politicians are trying to create it.” PeopleTryingHumansMeanEndsGovernmentThreePoliticsWealthEconomyHellPlansDisciplinePoliticianLaborTasksManagementInstrumentsProductionsLiberalismGoodsEngineeringToilGoods And Services Author:Louis O.

“Bring on those tired, labor-plagued, competition-weary companies and ESOP will breathe new life into them. They will find ESOP better than Geritol. It will revitalize what is wrong with capitalism. It will increase productivity. It will improve labor relations. It will promote economic justice. It will save the economic system. It will make our form of government and our concept of freedom prevail over those who don't agree with us.” WisdomGovernmentFormPoliticsJusticeCompanyEconomyEconomicConceptsCapitalismLaborIncreaseRelationAgreeTiredCompetitionBreatheProductivityLiberalismWearyNew LifeForms Of GovernmentEconomic SystemsEconomic JusticeEsops Author:Russell B.

“Right now, the technological world plus God or spirituality is evolving. I think America has become a little bit too corrupt, government's a little too corrupt, too greedy. Many corporations are too greedy. The labor unions are too greedy. That effects charities and religious organizations. I just think it's greed. That's why, in 1985, I had to figure out how to give before I received. The more I focus on giving, for less and less, the more and more I make.” ThinkingWorldGivingLittlesGovernmentAmericaSpiritualityBitsReligiousFocusEffectsFiguresRight NowLittle BitLaborOrganizationUnionsCharityGreedEvolveCorporationsPlusTechnologicalGreedyLabor UnionCorrupt Government Author:Robert Kiyosaki
