When there is an income tax, the just man will pay more and the unjust less on the same amount of income.Plato
Michelle Pfeiffer hasn't been finding a lot of work recently because she doesn't like what a woman her age is offered. That's a real double standard. You get Sean Connery, who gets older and older, still playing opposite young ladies, but it doesn't work the other way around.Denzel Washington
We are often told that health inequalities are about money, that poor people cannot afford to live healthy lifestyles, but that is far too simplistic.Julia Hartley-Brewer
Poverty is not just a sad accident, but it's also a result of the fact that some people make a lot of money off low-income families and directly contribute to their poverty.Matthew Desmond
The rich are always going to say that, you know, just give us more money and we'll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you. But that has not worked the last 10 years, and I hope the American public is catching on.Warren Buffett
What is the price of justice? What is the price of justice? When bail is set unreasonably high, people are behind bars only because they are poor. Not because they're a danger or a flight risk - only because they are poor. They don't have money to get out of jail and they certainly don't have money to flee anywhere.Loretta Lynch
Globalization, as defined by rich people like us, is a very nice thing... you are talking about the internet, you are talking about cell phones, you are talking about computers.Jimmy Carter
Wealth often takes away chances from men as well as poverty. There is none to tell the rich to go on striving, for a rich man makes the law that hallows and hollows his own life.Theodore Dreiser
Experience demands that man is the only animal which devours his own kind, for I can apply no milder term to the general prey of the rich on the poor.Thomas Jefferson
They talk about the failure of socialism but where is the success of capitalism in Africa, Asia and Latin America?Fidel Castro
Where globalization means, as it so often does, that the rich and powerful now have new means to further enrich and empower themselves at the cost of the poorer and weaker, we have a responsibility to protest in the name of universal freedom.Nelson Mandela
Globalization, as defined by rich people like us, is a very nice thing... you are talking about the Internet, you are talking about cell phones, you are talking about computers. This doesn't affect two-thirds of the people of the world.Jimmy Carter
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.Winston Churchill
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. That's the way the system works. And since we know that the system will not change the rules, we are going to have to change the system.Martin Luther King, Jr.
