Capitalism does not permit an even flow of economic resources. With this system, a small privileged few are rich beyond conscience, and almost all others are doomed to be poor at some level.

Change, Capitalism, Rich, Small, Know

Fear, Path, Past, Me, Face, Eye

It is an established principle of jurisprudence in all civilized nations that the sovereign cannot be sued in its own courts, or in any other, without its consent and permission; but it may, if it thinks proper, waive this privilege, and permit itself to be made a defendant in a suit by individuals, or by another State. Roger B. Taney

Leo Buscaglia

Good, Sad, Think, Table, Eat, Meal
