They do not always learn about the good, the attractive, the charming, the soon-beloved, the generous, the understanding rich who have no bad qualities and who give each day the quality of a festival and who, when they have passed and taken the nourishment they needed, leave everything deader than the roots of any grass Attila's horses' hooves have ever scoured.

If all the rich people in the world divided up their money among themselves there wouldn't be enough to go around.
Christina SteadIn the past, humans hesitated when they took lives, even non-human lives. But society had changed, and they no longer felt that way.

The country is governed for the richest, for the corporations, the bankers, the land speculators, and for the exploiters of labor. The majority of mankind are working people.
