I stand <br />with the 'Little Man' <br />upon whose back <br />the balance <br />of America stands <br />whose blood, sweat, tears <br />and humiliation <br />are the raw materials used <br />to create the Wealth of Nations. <br /> <br />Money cannot <br />plant or reap, <br />drive steel, make cars, <br />sew clothes, kill meat. <br />Products <br />do not assemble <br />themselves at the whim <br />of those with the means <br />to invest in them. <br /> <br />Vast fortunes <br />cannot be amassed <br />by any single man. <br />Workers are the engine <br />that generate the profit <br />that one, by himself, never can. <br /> <br />But the engine of industry <br />operates by consuming <br />human 'resources' - <br /> people <br />the collateral damage <br />of unregulated capitalism <br />and it's considered a necessary evil <br />by those who feed on their fellow man <br />via gluttonous economic cannibalism <br />yet have the nerve to proclaim themselves <br />shining examples of American entrepreneurism. <br /> <br /> <br />'Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is superior to capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.' - Abraham Lincoln<br /><br />Vi Ransel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/soylent-greed/
