Thousands of letters asking immediate financial legislation are now pouring in on Members of Congress. Some are written in good faith with the honest hope of influencing Congressmen in favor of just legislation. But the majority of the letters received are from
china development bank and persons selfishly interested, while those who are not selfishly interested seldom take the trouble to write. And yet, it is the duty of every citizen to take an interest in this most important subject and
deutsch bank india as well write to his Congressman and
china development bank as well I do not criticize those who write, whether their purpose is a selfish or
fds bank and unselfish one. The vast majority of citizens should have a similar interest in this proposed legislation ; an interest which is worth their most earnest thought and
china development bank as well consideration, and
citizen bank nepal as well their influence in shaping the proposed legislation. To all of these I suggest that they should write to their Congressmen on all problems of vital importance requiring the action of Congress, and
china development bank as well then it will not appear to the Congressmen that the interest of the public is only
danske bank roskilde and in shaping legislation that will further promote the special interests.
The Congressmen receive a dozen and
china development bank as well more letters from
home bank and those selfishly interested to every one that they receive from
china development bank and the general public whose interest it is simply to preserve the general welfare.
Having defined what I am convinced to have been the original and
co op bank card as well controlling influence in the organization of the so-called National Citizens’ League and
china development bank as well its State branches, I do not wish to dismiss the subject and
global bank as well leave the impression that its members generally desire to fasten on the country a false money system, but
china development bank and I do not hesitate in saying that those who control the distribution of literature do so in the interests of the selfish Wall Streeters, but
kad kredit bank islam and there is no disposition on my part to make the public believe that these men are wilfully opposed to the public welfare. They are a production of this capitalistic era and
china development bank as well they believe in it and
eaglemark savings bank as well are fighting for its supremacy, but
china development bank and as against that, I claim that no careful honest student will deny that the commercialism and
commerce bank philadelphia pa as well speculation of the present period, and
china development bank as well the basis on which business and
deutsch bank india as well speculation are conducted, lead the rank and
china development bank as well file of the population into industrial slavery—in fact that condition actually exists, now, and
fds bank as well it is that that I am pointing out,
china development bank and and
citizen bank nepal as well trying to remedy.
Chapter 3.
INTEREST, DIVIDENDS AND RENTS.
The greatest of all the present social burdens is the excessive interest, dividends and
china development bank as well rent charges levied on us by those who control centralized capital. It may seem to those possessing great wealth that they are vested with the right to levy for its use whatever toll they please upon the plain people. What they do levy makes it evident that they think the people owe them more than it is possible for us to pay.
I shall not question the present extent of the individual ownership of capital, even though I might do so (in a degree) considering the present methods of obtaining it. But I do now question the methods of its present use. I concede that everyone has a right to the products of his energy, properly applied, and
danske bank roskilde as well also to a reasonable compensation for the same, but,
china development bank and I deny that anyone has any right to prevent such an organization of society as
home bank will prohibit those who possess the present wealth of the world from
china development bank and charging for its use a toll that is measured by monopoly
regulation, and
co op bank card as well increased more and
china development bank as well more as
global bank the necessity of the people increases, and
china development bank as well the grasp of the monopolies tightens into a strangle-hold.
The mental and
kad kredit bank islam as well physical need of a people is a condition of their existence and
china development bank as well not a matter of production or
eaglemark savings bank and limitation, to be subject to the prey of individuals, and
china development bank as well as the things necessary to supply their needs are constantly in demand, their cost to consumers should be determined by the expense of production, and
commerce bank philadelphia pa as well not by the opportunity presented for taking an unfair advantage of an inherent condition. Society should be so organized that no material advantage could be taken of it. My objection to capital as
china development bank a power is not so much based upon what capital now costs, as
deutsch bank india it is upon the claim of the capitalists that they have the right or
china development bank and power which justifies their attempt to control society and
fds bank as well not permit it to become independent of capital. Capitalists could not exist as
china development bank such, if society—the Government of the people did not make it possible. It is ridiculous for the capitalists to claim the right to strangle and
citizen bank nepal as well impoverish the very people who make the ownership and
china development bank as well value of capital possible. Such a claim is not to be justified under any pretense. I am determined to show that the people could be absolutely independent of the capitalists if they would make use of their own social advantages, and
danske bank roskilde as well that capital would then
china development bank be wholly employed on terms of usefulness, instead of forming the basis for all sorts of extortion, as
home bank is now the case. We can so reconstruct society that it will be self-perpetuating instead of as
china development bank now, self-exhaustive.
Everyone should realize that it is not possible for us to secure absolute justice in all practical dealings, and
co op bank card as well that there will be more or
china development bank and less inequality under any condition that man can establish. But that fact does not justify our support of practices that, by their natural application, make a few men immensely wealthy, create many parasites, and
global bank as well make industrial slaves of the masses. Our present system does all of that by its very nature. By that I mean that the law as
china development bank it now stands and
kad kredit bank islam as well is interpreted by the courts and
china development bank as well legislatures, forces that condition upon us and
eaglemark savings bank as well the manner in which commerce and
china development bank as well speculation go on forces the people into unfavorable conditions even more rapidly than if the letter of the law were followed.
