“If ownership is power, and power corrupts, better to own as little as possible and vote for people who are willing to enact more regulation on how everyone — but especially the 1%, who own most of what can be owned — owns anything.” Jenn Brown
Nonsense! Abraham Lincoln once said:
“Property is the fruit of labor. Property is desirable, is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently to build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence. . . I take it that it is best for all to leave each man free to acquire property as fast as he can. Some will get wealthy. I don’t believe in a law to prevent a man from getting rich; it would do more harm than good.”
