 "The few own the many because they possess the means of livelihood of all ... 
The country is governed for the richest, for the corporations, the bankers, the 
land speculators, and for the exploiters of labor. The majority of mankind are 
working people. So long as their fair demands - the ownership and control of 
their livelihoods - are set at naught, we can have neither men's rights nor 
women's rights. The majority of mankind is ground down by industrial oppression 
in order that the small remnant may live in ease."
