“By taking out a loan, I am committing myself to years of interest repayments, and therefore to years of wage slavery. And the UK has been borrowing like crazy since 1694, when the Bank of England was invented.

“Now in regard to trades and other means of livelihood, which ones are to be considered becoming to a gentleman and which ones are vulgar, we have been taught, in general, as follows. First, those means of livelihood are rejected as undesirable which incur people's ill-will, as those of tax-gatherers and usurers. Unbecoming to a gentleman, too, and vulgar are the means of livelihood of all hired workmen whom we pay for mere manual labour, not for artistic skill; for in their case the very wage they receive is a pledge of their slavery.” PeopleFirstsMeanHas BeensPayCasesTaughtBecomingSkillsTaxesRegardSlaveryTradeMereIllArtisticGentlemanLabourRejectedVulgarPledgeManualsLivelihoodWorkmenUndesirableIll WillUnbecomingManual Labour Book:Delphi Complete Works of Cicero (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of Cicero (Illustrated)
