People who have little thought of the relations of the rich to the poor generally assume that all that is necessary is for the rich to give to the poor, or that they should be compelled to give part of their wealth, and all would be well. But this is a great mistake.
The main thing is that the more is given the less the people will work for themselves, and the less they work the more their poverty will increase.
Money is a new form of slavery, which differs form the old only in being impersonal, and in freeing people from all the human relations of the slave.
