“I'm not concerned about the very poor, we have a safety net there, if we need to repair, I'll fix it. I'm not concerned about the very rich, they're doing just fine.

“We as Americans are completely obsessed and wrapped up in a lot of the wrong values - looking good, having cash in the bank, being perceived as rich, famous and successful or just being famous...

“One man in one mood will attack Industrial Capitalism for its destruction of beauty; another for its incompetence; another for the vileness of the men who chiefly prosper under it; another for its mere confusion and noise; another for its false values; it was until recently most fiercely attacked for its impoverishment of the workers, its margin of unemployment and the rest - indeed so fiercely that it was compelled to seek palliatives for the evil. With a mass of men it was attacked from a vague but strong sense of injustice; it allowed a few rich to exploit mankind.” MenValuesEvilPoliticsStrongEconomyRichMankindHe ManMassCapitalismDestructionMereWorkersInjusticeMoodNoiseConfusionLiberalismOne ManVagueUnemploymentCompelledExploitsMarginsIncompetence Author:Hilaire Belloc

“The determination of the value of an item must not be based on its price, but rather on the utility it yields. The price of the item is dependent only on the thing itself and is equal for everyone; the utility, however, is dependent on the particular circumstances of the person making the estimate. Thus there is no doubt that a gain of one thousand ducats is more significant to a pauper than to a rich man though both gain the same amount.” MenPersonsValuesMoneyRichDoubtParticularAmountCircumstancesThousandEqualGainsDeterminationSignificantNo DoubtDependentYieldItemsUtilityRich Man Author:Daniel Bernoulli
