And it does, from time to time, aggravate the pedestrian serenity of the comfortable. "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, {…} with certain unalienable rights" ---Declaration of Independence Less than a hundred years later, the Communist Manifesto attempted to do more or less the same thing. But of course neither capitalism or communism succeeded in separating wealth from rights. |
