Notable Quote – R.W. Grant

The politician dispenses wealth which other men have produced, and we say he is “compassionate,” while the businessman who produces the wealth is dismissed as “greedy” and “materialistic.”

-R.W. Grant  (The Incredible Bread Machine)

I have said this for a long time – if you deem a “capitalist” as being greedy and don’t like it, the solution is simple: just don’t voluntarily buy their stuff.  Seriously.  That’s all it takes.  After all, its YOUR money and the capitalist canNOT force you to spend it with them.

A politician, on the other hand, doesn’t always want money for himself (although we SHOULD be wondering how come many politicians, upon stopping being one, has a much higher net worth than at their start) but USE the idea of money grubbing companies to act as a shield for where the REAL greed is: the power to control how others can and will live their lives.  Most people just don’t realize that the greed for power is the worst greed of all.
