“In a democracy the poor will have more power than the rich, because there are more of them, and the will of the majority is supreme. --Aristotle”
“More powerful than God, more evil than the Devil; the poor have it, the rich lack it, and if you eat it you die?”
“I have always found that it is far more convenient to be rich rather than to be poor.”
“It is as necessary for a poor man to give away, as for a rich man. Many poor men are more devoted worshipers of Mammon than some rich men.”
“...the majority in a democracy has no more right to tyrannize over a minority than, under a different system, the latter would to oppress the former.”
“There’s nothing the rich fear more than a poor person with ideas and charisma.”
